Metal 3D Printing Parts Material Introduction

What are the metal materials suitable for 3D printing?

Metal 3D printing parts are becoming increasingly widespread in life and industry. However most people don’t know which metals can used for 3D printing. Por lo tanto, SUN-YEE TECH gives a brief introduction to it.

Stainless Steel 3D Printing:

Features: Stainless steel is widely used for its resistance to corrosion by weak corrosive media such as air, steam, water and chemically aggressive media such as acid, alkali and salt.
Applications: items with complex shapes and high strength requirements. Large-sized items with simple shapes.

Aluminum 3D Printing

Characteristics: High strength, baja densidad
Applications: complex parts, thermally conductive and dissipative parts, aeroespacial, etc.. Large-sized items with simple shapes.

Titanium Alloy 3D Printing

Features: light weight, high strength, good toughness, corrosion resistance.
Applications: complex, fine pieces, etc.. Low-budget, common shaped items.

Maraging Steel 3D Printing

Characteristics: Die steel is the steel use to make cold punching dies, hot forging dies, die casting dies and other molds. It is characterized by high hardness, wear resistance, high hardenability and high thermal fatigue resistance.
Suitable for use: modeling complex molds, can combine with traditional molds. Large size model with simple shape.
