Produce detailed, difficult-to-fabricate metal parts faster, and with less material waste and tooling costs than machining. This powder creates corrosion-resistant and weldable parts that look similar to traditional machined parts, but do not have the same strength. Due to rapidly changing temperatures in the printing process, the parts can form stresses and pores that may lead to cracking. A material certificate with traceable lot number and test report to confirm the material composition is included.

Powder is compatible with powder bed fusion (PBF) printing systems, such as direct metal laser sintering (DMLS), selective laser melting (SLM), and electron beam melting (EBM).

316/316L stainless steel powder is more corrosion resistant than 718 nickel and AlSi10Mg aluminum. Use it for parts in marine, food-processing, and chemical-processing environments. It cannot be heat treated.

For the greatest strength in the highest temperatures, use 718 nickel powder to print parts for the most demanding applications, such as jet engines, gas turbines, and cryogenic chambers. It can be heat treated for additional strength and hardness.

With a blend of aluminum, silicon, and magnesium, AlSi10Mg aluminum powder creates parts that are lightweight, yet strong to withstand stress from varying loads. Use it for parts that require thin walls, complex geometry, or need to support a load, such as gearboxes and brackets. It can also be heat treated for added crack resistance.
