Core Capability

Our facility runs industrial laser powder-bed fusion platforms operated by a team of senior materials engineers. We don't just print parts - we optimize your geometry for the additive process and qualify it through to final inspection.

Technologies:

Laser Powder Bed Fusion - SLM (Selective Laser Melting) and DMLS (Direct Metal Laser Sintering).

Maximum Build Envelope:

Up to 500 × 500 × 600 mm on our large-format platforms (machine-dependent), supporting large-scale part consolidation.

Precision & Surface Quality:

As-printed dimensional accuracy typically ±0.1–0.2 mm, with tighter tolerances down to ±0.02–0.05 mm achievable on critical features after CNC finishing. Near-net-shape geometry minimizes downstream machining.

Post-Processing - full in-house suite:

CNC Machining: tight-tolerance threads, bores, and mating surfaces.

Heat Treatment: stress relief, solution / aging, and Hot Isostatic Pressing (HIP) to close residual porosity and improve fatigue performance.

Surface Finishing: bead blasting, electropolishing, and mirror-finish grinding to specification.

Materials

All powders are sourced from certified suppliers with documented chemical composition and traceability. Heat-treatment routes are matched to the alloy and the application.

Material Group	Common Alloys	Key Properties	Typical Applications
Titanium	Ti-6Al-4V (Grade 5 / Grade 23)	High strength-to-weight ratio; biocompatible (Grade 23, ELI)	Aerospace structural brackets; medical implants
Aluminum	AlSi10Mg	Good thermal conductivity (~120–150 W/m·K, heat-treatment dependent); lightweight	Heat sinks; cold plates; automotive structural parts
Stainless Steel - austenitic	316L	Excellent corrosion resistance; good ductility; non-magnetic	Marine hardware; chemical and food-grade equipment
Stainless Steel - precipitation-hardening	17-4 PH	High strength and hardness after H900/H1025 aging	Tooling; high-load brackets; industrial valves
Nickel-based Superalloys	Inconel 718	High strength and creep resistance up to ~650–700 °C; weldable	Turbine disks and blades; high-stress hot-section parts
Nickel-based Superalloys	Inconel 625	Excellent oxidation and corrosion resistance at elevated temperature	Combustors; exhaust components; chemical-process hardware

Mechanical properties depend on build orientation, parameters, and heat-treatment route. We provide certified test data on request and can run witness coupons alongside your build for qualification programs.

Core Strengths

Choosing an industrial metal 3D printing partner is about reliability as much as machinery.

Disruptive Design Freedom:

Consolidate multi-part assemblies into a single lightweight metal unit, reducing part count and removing weld/braze joints from the load path.

Shorter Development Cycle:

From CAD to functional metal parts in 5–7 working days for standard geometries; complex parts requiring full HIP and machining typically run 10–15 working days.

Material Efficiency:

For complex geometries, additive manufacturing can reduce raw-material waste by 50–70% versus subtractive machining from billet - a particularly significant cost benefit for high-value alloys such as titanium and Inconel. Unfused powder is recycled per qualified procedures.

Engineering Support:

DFM review, FEA, and topology optimization are part of every program - not optional add-ons.

Representative result:

We supported an automotive customer in compressing the development loop for a structural bracket from concept to track testing, with reported cycle-time savings on the order of 50–60% versus their previous casting-based path. Results are program-specific; we are happy to walk through the workflow for your part.

Industry Applications

We deliver customized solutions for industries with strict quality requirements, with documentation matched to the relevant industry standards.

Aerospace & Defense: Lightweight structural brackets and complex fuel nozzles that hold up under extreme pressure and temperature.

Medical Devices:

Patient-specific implants with biocompatible Ti-6Al-4V ELI; surgical instruments with complex internal geometry.

Automotive & Motorsport:

High-performance heat exchangers, topology-optimized suspension components, and rapid prototypes for race-week iteration.

Tooling & Industrial Molds:

Injection molds and die inserts with conformal cooling channels - shorter cycle times, more uniform part quality, and longer tool life.

Energy & Process: Compact heat exchangers, manifolds, and corrosion-resistant components for hydrogen, oil & gas, and chemical-process applications.

FAQ

What is the maximum part size for industrial metal 3D printing?

Our current platforms support parts up to 500 × 500 × 600 mm (machine-dependent). For larger components, we can support segmented designs with precise post-print joining or welding.

How is the cost of custom metal 3D printing calculated?

Pricing is driven by material volume, geometric complexity, build time, and the required post-processing. We typically return a detailed, transparent quotation within 24 hours of receiving your STEP or STL file.

What is the typical lead time for metal printed parts?

5–7 working days for standard production. Parts requiring extensive post-processing (HIP, multi-axis CNC, special heat treatments, plating) typically need 10–15 working days. We confirm the schedule at quotation.

Can the strength of printed parts match casting or forging?

Yes, in most respects. SLM/DMLS parts typically reach relative densities of 99.5–99.9%, and after appropriate heat treatment (and HIP where required) their static mechanical properties are generally equal to or better than equivalent castings, and approach the properties of wrought/forged material. For fatigue-critical applications and Z-direction (build-axis) ductility, we recommend HIP plus the alloy's standard heat-treatment route, and we are happy to provide certified test data for your specific alloy and orientation.

What quality documentation can you provide?

Standard deliverables include a Certificate of Conformance and a dimensional inspection report. On request we provide material certificates, heat-treatment records, witness-coupon test results, and additional documentation aligned with the customer's quality system.
