Our Metal Capabilities

Extreme geometry. Uncompromising strength.

Redefine the limits of metallurgy. Our metal 3D printing capabilities bypass the constraints of traditional CNC machining and casting, allowing you to manufacture lightweight lattice structures, complex internal cooling channels, and high-strength topologies. Achieve optimal strength-to-weight ratios for your most critical industrial applications.

Metal 3D Printers that we used

High-energy laser fusion. Molecular integrity.

Transforming metal powder into solid structural reality. Our advanced metal additive manufacturing systems utilize high-powered, precision-calibrated lasers to fuse fine metal powder layer by layer under an inert gas atmosphere. This strict process control ensures maximum material density, exceptional crystalline structure, and predictable mechanical performance.

The Metal Gallery

The new state of the art.

Step into a showcase of heavy-duty engineering. This gallery highlights our capability to manufacture complex, flight-ready, and downhole-certified components that survive where standard parts fail. Browse through high-efficiency heat exchangers, lightweight brackets, and custom industrial tooling built for the world’s most demanding sectors.

Post-Processing for Metal 3D Printing

Metallurgical refinement. Structural perfection.

Forged in the printer, perfected on the bench. Raw metal prints require meticulous post-processing to achieve final mechanical and dimensional compliance. Our advanced suite includes vacuum thermal annealing for stress relief, EDM wire-cutting for precise build-plate separation, and multi-axis CNC machining for tight-tolerance interfaces. We finish every part with automated media blasting or chemical polishing to optimize surface topography and fatigue resistance for critical field deployment.

Frequently asked questions

What is metal 3D printing?

Metal 3D printing (DMLS / SLM) uses high-powered lasers to fuse fine metal powder layer by layer under an inert gas atmosphere, producing dense, high-strength metal parts.

Which metals can you 3D print?

We print titanium Ti64, stainless steel 316L and 17-4 PH, aluminium AlSi10Mg and AL6061, Inconel 718 and 625, cobalt chrome, maraging steel, bronze CuSn10 and pure copper.

When should I choose metal 3D printing over CNC machining or casting?

Choose metal 3D printing for geometries that machining and casting cannot make — lightweight lattice structures, internal cooling channels and topology-optimised parts with high strength-to-weight ratios, such as heat exchangers, brackets and custom tooling.

How fast is your metal 3D printing service?

Metal parts can be ready in as little as 7 days, depending on part size, quantity and post-processing.

What post-processing is available for metal parts?

We offer vacuum thermal annealing for stress relief, EDM wire-cutting, multi-axis CNC machining for tight-tolerance interfaces, and media blasting or chemical polishing.

SLM vs. DMLS: What’s the Difference?

Metal 3D printed brake disc

SLM (selective laser melting) and DMLS (direct metal laser sintering) are two names for the same family of metal 3D printing, known as laser powder bed fusion. In both, a high-powered laser fuses fine metal powder layer by layer inside a chamber filled with inert gas.

The names come from how the technology was first described:

  • SLM refers to fully melting the metal powder.
  • DMLS originally referred to sintering — fusing particles without fully melting them.

Today, both terms describe machines that produce dense, high-performance metal parts, and they are often used interchangeably. You don’t need to choose between SLM and DMLS. What matters for your part is:

  • The alloy — stainless steel 316L and 17-4 PH, titanium Ti64, Inconel 718 and 625, or aluminium AlSi10Mg.
  • The design — overhangs need supports, and walls and features must suit the process.
  • Post-processing — stress-relief annealing, wire-EDM removal from the build plate, CNC machining of critical features, and media blasting or polishing.

💡 Design tip: for precision features such as bearing seats, threaded holes and sealing faces, add extra material so they can be CNC machined to final size after printing.
