Metal 3D printing types

Metal 3D printing produces strong and durable parts. They can be printed using high-strength, lightweight materials with high tensile strength, hardness, and wear resistance. Here are the types of metal material 3D printing processes Xtmade offers.

Selective Laser Melting (SLM)

A laser melts layers of powdered metal material in successive layers.
Titanium Metal 3D Printing

Electron Beam Melting (EBM)

A laser melts layers of powdered metal material in successive layers.

Direct Metal Laser Sintering (DMLS)

The laser fuses together layers of 20 to 60 micron metal powder. No sintering is required, and it has the mechanical properties of a cast metal part.

Metal Binder Jetting

Layers of metal powder are fused together with a binder to create a green part, which is then solidified and placed in a furnace for sintering.

Thinking about metal part design

Subtractive manufacturing technology limits what you can create. Metal 3D printing enables you to produce part designs that are difficult or impossible to achieve with traditional manufacturing technology. For example, the following design points cannot be produced by subtractive manufacturing technology.

  • Internal supports
  • Weight-saving lattice wall sections
  • Conformal cooling channels
  • Undercuts
  • Draft angles
  • Internal cavities
  • Varying wall thicknesses

Materials

  • Titanium
  • Steel
  • Stainless steel
  • Aluminum
  • Nickel
  • Cobalt
  • Copper
  • Inconel
  • Gold
  • Platinum
  • Silver

What is Metal 3D Printing?

Metal 3D printing is an additive manufacturing process that produces parts by fusing metal particles together layer by layer to form a metal component. It is often chosen as an alternative to CNC machining or metal casting because it can produce parts with the strength and durability of metal while also taking advantage of the design freedom that 3D printing offers. It can produce complex designs and structures, neither of which can be manufactured through traditional CNC machining.

Applications of Metal 3D Printing

Applications of Metal 3D Printing

Metal 3D printing can be used for rapid industrial tooling as well as parts with complex curvatures and small thin-walled parts such as conformal jigs and fixtures, stamps, dies, and cutting inserts. In addition, metal 3D printing can be used to integrate fastening features, end effectors, and metal lattice structures. Due to the excellent durability and strength of metal 3D printed parts, they can be used for fully functional late-stage prototypes or end-use parts for any of the above applications.

  • Functional Prototypes
  • Direct Digital Manufacturing
  • Molds and Inserts
  • Piping Systems
  • Rapid Tooling
  • Spare Parts
  • Rigid Housings
  • Radiators and Heat Exchangers

Advantages of Metal 3D Printing

  • Can produce parts with unique geometries, and can make parts that cannot be made by other means. For example: internal cavities and other complex features that cannot be machined or cast.
  • Design freedom, can combine parts into a lighter, cheaper, more reliable printable part.
  • Ideal for rapid prototyping, can quickly iterate prototype part designs, and can also use it to print multiple design ideas of the part at the same time to determine which is the best functional design.
  • No fixtures or tools are required to produce metal parts. And part designs can be easily modified or fine-tuned during the production process.
  • For mass production of customized parts, metal 3D printing services can quickly produce hundreds of production-quality parts to keep the production line running when bridge production is needed.
  • Metal 3D printed parts have excellent toughness and can produce jigs and fixtures for CNC machining, part inspection and other purposes.
