Metal parts with geometry CNC can't reach.

Titanium Ti-6Al-4V (Grade 23, medical-grade ELI available), aluminum AlSi10Mg, stainless steel 316L and 17-4 PH, Inconel 625 and 718 (superalloys), maraging tool steel MS1 (1.2709). Custom alloys may be available with 4–6 week lead time depending on powder availability.

Our DMLS system has a build envelope of 250 × 250 × 300 mm. Larger parts must be split and welded or fastened. For parts up to that size, we can pack multiple parts into one build to reduce per-part cost.

As-printed tolerances are ±0.1 mm or ±0.2% of the feature dimension, whichever is greater. Surface finish is Ra 6–10 µm as-printed (rough). For precision mating features and smoother finishes, we recommend hybrid workflow: DMLS print + CNC finish of critical surfaces. This achieves ±0.01 mm tolerances on bearing seats, threaded holes, and alignment features.

Yes. Hot Isostatic Pressing (HIP) for porosity reduction, solution annealing, age hardening, and stress relief. HIP is standard for flight-critical aerospace parts, taking as-printed density from 99.8% to 99.99%+ and closing internal voids. We work with vetted certified HIP partners.

DMLS is production-capable. Our aerospace customers use it for flight-qualified brackets, medical customers for implantable titanium components (with post-processing), and motorsport teams for optimized brake calipers and suspension components. For runs above ~200 parts, compare total cost against CNC or investment casting.

DMLS enables geometries CNC cannot reach: organic weight-optimized shapes (typically 40–60% lighter than machined equivalent), internal lattice structures, conformal cooling channels in mold inserts, integrated features that would otherwise require assembly. Combined with generative design software, topology-optimized DMLS parts are transforming aerospace brackets and motorsport components.
