Stainless Steel 17-4 PH
Cobalt Chrome CoCrMo
Stainless Steel 316L
INCONEL® 625
Aluminum AlSi10Mg

Complex structures
Intricate metal parts previously dif�cult or
impossible to produce with conventional
manufacturing can be produced faster and
more cost-effectively.
Part / assembly consolidation
Reduce required parts and manufacturing costs
by consolidating assemblies.
Weight reduction
Part consolidation and 3D printing’s design
freedom results in a lighter part.
Waste reduction
Only the required material is used to create a part.
In powder-bed technologies, leftover powders
can be reused.
