Metal 3D Printer

Metal 3D printers have the following engineering advantages over conventional production methods.

• Weight Reduction

  3D printers are well-equipped to produce metal parts with hollow inner cavities, therefore useful in producing parts that require constant weight reduction such as aerospace, automotive and shipbuilding parts and medical devices such as surgical implants.

• Parts Consolidation

  By combining multiple parts into a single printed part, overall weight of the produced parts can be reduced while improving the mechanical strengths. By reducing the number of parts to assemble, manufacturing processes and costs are streamlined.

• Batch Production

  Unlike the conventional mass production methods, 3D printer is a digital manufacturing equipment with the flexibility to produce different shapes and sizes each time the machine operates. It is ideal for small-scale batch production of individually customized products such as medical devices, personalized goods and mementos.
