17-4 PH Stainless Steel
This multi-purpose stainless steel can achieve a hardness of 36 HRC and has a tensile strength equal to 95% of the same material machined from solid. It is particularly suitable for industrial applications.
Metal 3D Printing uses metal powders to create three-dimensional objects that are geometrically complex and can be used in a wide range of applications.
3D printing is considered the method of the future to manufacture metal component parts.
In the last years, technology has shown more than promising results, and generated excitement across various sectors, as it demonstrated to bring an incredible added value to production.
Today, metal 3D printing has become more accessible, scalable, and robust, and has begun to take an increasingly important position in the production mechanisms of many companies.
With the same machine, we can print different metal materials, such as stainless steels, tool steels, pure copper, and Inconel 625.
Machines that use Atomic Diffusion Additive Manufacturing (ADAM) technology use metal powders that are captured and amalgamated, layer by layer, in a plastic binder. At the end of the printing process, controlled sintering occurs, which introduces fewer internal stresses compared to sintering in a furnace, to remove the binder and solidify the metal powder.
ADAM printing technology produces metal parts featuring complex geometries with extreme precision, and significantly reduces production costs. It offers a high level of customisation, which turns it into the ideal method to make final parts, connectors, prototypes, and tools.
To date, ADAM metal printing technology is the simplest and most cost-effective solution for manufacturing complex metal parts.
Three-dimensional printing of metals uses a wide range of metal alloys including:
This multi-purpose stainless steel can achieve a hardness of 36 HRC and has a tensile strength equal to 95% of the same material machined from solid. It is particularly suitable for industrial applications.
Harder than 17-4 PH stainless steel, this type is extremely versatile and can be used for items requiring hardness or heat resistance.
A universal steel that combines excellent wear resistance and toughness.
High wear-resistant steel, but less tough than A2 steel. Ideal for applications requiring high hardness.
Highly conductive and extremely ductile metal, suitable for thermal and electrical applications.
A nickel-chromium superalloy that can withstand high temperatures. Easy to print and suitable for creating functional prototypes.
Metal 3D printing has multiple uses. Currently, it is primarily used for creating components and finished parts in various sectors, including:
