Materials

  • Stainless Steel (1.4404/316L) –  is one of the most widely used corrosion-resistant alloys. The addition of molybdenum enhances its corrosion resistance compared to standard stainless steels, while its low carbon content ensures excellent processing characteristics. These qualities make 1.4404 ideal for a broad range of applications across industries such as automotive, aerospace, construction, mechanical engineering, and pharmaceuticals

  • Aluminium (3.2382 AISi10Mg) -is a high-strength aluminium alloy with age-hardening properties. The addition of silicon improves melt pool viscosity, making it more suitable for additive manufacturing than pure aluminum. Known for its excellent thermal conductivity, high strength-to-weight ratio, good corrosion resistance, and processability, it’s widely used in aviation. It’s also popular in the casting industry for producing thin-walled components with strong mechanical properties.
  • Tool Steel (1.2709/M300) – is a versatile material known for its high elongation and yield strength, making it ideal for tool inserts and advanced mould designs with near-contour cooling in injection moulding and die casting. It can be easily machined, hardened, and further processed—whether through welding, blasting, polishing, or coating—even after heat treatment. 1.2709/M300 is widely used across industries such as aerospace, automotive, prototyping, toolmaking, and series production, where high-performance components are essential.
  • Titanium (Ti-6Al-4V Grade 23) – is a lightweight, high-strength titanium alloy known for its excellent corrosion resistance. The presence of aluminium and vanadium stabilises its microstructure across a wide temperature range, while reduced oxygen content enhances its corrosion performance. With a high strength-to-weight ratio and biocompatibility, this alloy is widely used in both industrial and medical applications.

Applications

Metal Powder Bed materials offer excellent corrosion resistance, combined with high tensile strength and impressive rigidity. These materials are well-suited for demanding environments where durability and structural integrity are critical.

We support a diverse range of industries that rely on metal AM for both functional and high-performance applications. Below are some of the sectors that benefit from our Metal Powder Bed solutions:

Big thankyou for not only turning this round quickly, but also the prints are spot on! The Nylon 12 material worked a treat with the live hinge & allowed us to use it repeatedly without breaking.
