Advantages of Metal 3D Printing
End-Use Parts
Strong, ultra-dense prints make metal printing perfect for end-use parts.
Complex Geometry
Easily produce geometries too complex to make using traditional manufacturing techniques.
Fast Turnaround
Since 3D printed metal doesn’t require tooling, part turnaround times are reduced from months to days.
Simplify Assemblies
Print complex assemblies in a single run.
