Xometry has added four new 3D printed metals to its on-demand manufacturing services: maraging steel, Inconel 625, Inconel 718, and titanium. These premium alloys complement the already available stainless steel and aluminum metal 3D printing.
Metal parts in these alloys are produced using direct metal laser sintering (DMLS). This process fuses powdered metal with a high-powered laser to build parts layer by layer. DMLS makes fully dense metal parts with exceptional mechanical properties and less design constraints than traditional manufacturing. Parts can be designed with lattices, generative- or topology-optimized structures, and integrate multiple assembly components into a unified body.
Metal 3D printed parts
DMLS Materials Available Through Xometry
Aluminum AlSi10Mg
A lightweight aluminum alloy that is a great alternative to machining or casting complex geometries.
Stainless Steel 17-4
A fully dense 17-4 PH stainless steel metal with a hardness of 40 HRC. This metal is heat treatable.
Stainless Steel 316/L
A fully dense 316L stainless steel metal with superb corrosion resistance. This metal meets the requirements of ASTM F138.
Maraging Steel MS1
A heat-treatable tool steel that can be post-hardened to more than 50 HRC to achieve excellent hardness and strength.
Inconel 625
A heat- and corrosion-resistant nickel alloy offering high oxidation resistance.
Inconel 718
A heat- and corrosion-resistant nickel alloy ideal for high-temperature applications. It offers good tensile, fatigue, creep, and rupture strength at temperatures up to 700 °C (1290 °F).
Titanium Ti64
A lightweight alloy with excellent mechanical properties and corrosion resistance used in high performing engineering applications as well as biomedical devices.
