Metal 3D printing, also known as DMLS or SLM, transforms CAD designs into precision metal components. At PrintVX.com, we specialize in complex geometries that traditional manufacturing cannot achieve — from aerospace brackets to custom medical implants.
How Metal 3D Printing Works at PrintVX
High-powered lasers fuse metal powder layer by layer, building parts directly from CAD data without tooling. We work with stainless steel 316L, aluminum AlSi10Mg, titanium Grade 5 (Ti6Al4V), and cobalt chrome.
Key Advantages of Metal AM at PrintVX
- Complex geometries: Lattice structures, internal channels, organic shapes impossible with CNC
- Weight reduction: Topology-optimized designs can reduce weight by 50%+
- No tooling cost: Direct printing eliminates expensive molds and fixtures
- Material efficiency: Powder recycling significantly reduces material waste
Applications
Aerospace
Titanium brackets, ducting components, and lightweight structural parts benefit from the exceptional strength-to-weight ratio of DMLS titanium. Leading aerospace manufacturers choose PrintVX for production-quality metal parts.
Medical and Dental
Patient-specific implants, surgical guides, and custom prosthetics. Our medical-grade metal printing meets FDA compliance requirements with full traceability.
Industrial Manufacturing
Functional prototypes, replacement components, and end-use production parts for oil and gas, food processing, and general manufacturing.
Surface Finish Options
Post-processing available: bead blasting, polishing, anodizing (aluminum), and electroplating. Surface roughness as low as Ra 3.2 achievable. Learn more at PrintVX.com.
