Design, test and produce metal parts with 3D-iT aluminium 3D printing, that are simply not possible with standard manufacturing. Create lightweight, high-strength structures and deliver new capabilities.
Custom-made products
3D-iT can supply aluminium 3D printed products. As aluminium is fused at a very high temperature, metal additive manufacturing requires excellent technical expertise to pre-study the thermal and mechanical effects before the 3D print and excellent knowledge of the finishing techniques for the completion of the object.
3D printing is often advantageous for complex designs, wired geometries and non-demountable mechanisms.
Material Description
Aluminium alloy (AlSi10Mg) is a robust and low-weight material with good thermal properties. It’s printed by sintering aluminium powder with a laser to produce metal parts that are equally as good as machined models. 3D printed aluminium does not look like traditional shiny milled aluminium. Instead, it has a matte grey finish with a slightly rougher and less defined surface.
Ideal applications for Metal 3D Printing
01Products to market faster.
By shortening product development cycles with an easy 3D metal printing process, organizations can generate more revenue.
02Reducing Manufacturing Cost.
Metal 3D printing increases flexibility in manufacturing and allows for more time spent producing revenue-generating parts.
03Replacing Inefficient Workflows.
3D printing metal parts will help organizations become more dynamic and responsive. Utilizing a metal 3D printer enables organizations to compress product timelines and reduce the labor, time and money between a CAD design and a functional part
04Ability to design geometrically complex parts.
Metal 3D printers are uniquely suited to fabricate complex parts. From the ultra-complex to process-optimized, they can print everything from generatively designed structures to custom cooling channels.
