Metal Materials

We produce metal 3D printed parts in a wide variety of materials and can offer the right choice for your requirements.

In combination with the right part design, these materials can provide lightweight solutions without compromising on strength or structural performance in applications ranging from aerospace and motorsport to heavy and high tech industries such as industrial printing.

 

The characteristics of each metal suit different 3D printing and manufacturing applications. These are summarised below:

Aluminium
AlSi10Mg

AlSi10Mg is a lightweight alloy used widely in the AM industry. Applications are widely varied between prototypes, functional parts and small runs of cast equivalent types such as LM9.
