Materials
316L Stainless Steel
316L Stainless Steel is an austenitic low-carbon stainless steel known for excellent corrosion resistance and ductility.
It is a versatile material used in a variety of industries and applications including dental, medical, consumer electronics, aerospace, marine, and designer textiles.
Ti-6Al-4V*
Ti-6Al-4V is a titanium alloy that combines high strength, hardness, and ductility with high corrosion resistance. It nearly matches steel’s strength while being 45% lighter, yielding one of the highest strength to weight ratios in manufacturing materials.
Aerospace applications are the most common, but Ti-6Al4V is also used in marine, automobile, energy, chemical and biomedical industries.
17-4PH Stainless Steel*
17-4PH is a precipitation-hardening martensitic stainless steel known for its high strength, wear resistance, corrosion resistance, and weldability.
This versatile material is widely used in diverse industries such as petroleum, chemical, and aerospace. It is commonly employed for heavy-duty machine components, couplings, screws, drive shafts, and nuts. Additionally, 17-4PH can be heat-treated to meet specific mechanical requirements.
D2 Tool Steel*
D2 is an air-hardening tool steel celebrated for its exceptional hardness and abrasion resistance while maintaining moderate toughness.
It's primarily used in the manufacture of cutting and forming tools, including shear cutters, punches, dies, and stamping tools. D2 steel remains stable throughout heat treatments, allowing for the fine-tuning of its final properties after sintering.
H13 Tool Steel*
H13 is a high-performance hot work tool steel noted for its excellent thermal fatigue resistance, hardenability, wear resistance, and toughness. It's commonly used in both hot and cold work tooling but is particularly well-suited for hot work applications due to its exceptional properties.
H13 is harder and more abrasion-resistant than most mild and stainless steels, yet less hard than other tool steels like D2. Its combination of properties makes it a versatile and reliable choice for a range of applications.
4140 Low Alloy Steel*
4140 is a low-alloyed steel recognized for its high strength, hardenability, and toughness. It's commonly used to produce gears, pulleys, and fasteners in the automotive and machinery industries, where precise and robust components are crucial.
Additionally, 4140 can be easily machined and welded, and it can be heat-treated to further enhance its mechanical properties.
IN625 Nickel Superalloy*
IN625 is a high-performance nickel based superalloy known for its toughness and excellent corrosion resistance in both oxidizing and reducing environments. It is more corrosion-resistant and can be used in higher temperatures than IN718, but exhibits inferior mechanical properties.
It is well suited for a variety of demanding applications in chemical processing, aerospace and marine engineering, power generation, and oil/gas. The material is notoriously difficult to machine, making 3D printing an attractive alternative.
IN718 Nickel Superalloy*
IN718 is a high-performance nickel-based superalloy known for its excellent strength and good corrosion resistance at elevated temperatures.
It is stronger and harder than IN625 but offers less corrosion resistance and a lower maximum operating temperature.
IN718 alloys are commonly utilized in aerospace applications, including turbines, spacecraft, rocket engines, turbo pumps, and tooling.
M247 Nickel Superalloy*
M247 is a high-performance nickel-based superalloy with exceptional thermomechanical properties.
The material is closely related to IN625 and IN718 and displays remarkable inherent oxidation resistance, as well as outstanding strength and creep resistance at high temperatures.
It is particularly well-suited for use in demanding applications such as aerospace and gas turbine engines, combustion/exhaust systems, turbopump impellers, and other similar high-temperature environments.
Copper*
Copper is a 99.9% commercially pure material with excellent electrical and thermal conductivity properties.
It is mostly used for electronics, heat exchangers, heat sinks, engine parts, as well as in a variety of industry applications that require good conductivity.
Printing in copper offers freedom of design and enables optimal functionality with few restrictions.
*Material not yet compatible with PX100™. Support for remaining metals will be added over time.
Simple and safe workflow designed for any business.
