Stainless steel 3D printing service

Stainless Steel is an additive manufacturing method that produces metal parts with 3D printing technology by using a metal-infused powder.

SLM Stainless Steel Materials

Stainless Steel printing is best used for parts that need to be high in strength and corrosion resistance.

Description

Applications Stainless Steel 3D printing is a good option for any projects that need to have a high resistance to corrosion and still be extremely strong. It is commonly used in automotive and aerospace industries and mechanical projects.
Strengths
  • strong structures
  • high resistance to corrosion
  • chemically resistant
Weaknesses
  • Longer production times
  • More costly than traditional 3D printing materials
  • surface hardness can vary

  • FAQ 1: Do you offer CAD design work?

    We have an in-house CAD file designer available to hire starting at $50/hour. Email [email protected] for more information.

  • FAQ 2: What CNC processes do you offer?

    We have CNC milling machines and CNC turning lathes.

  • FAQ 3: What types of finishes do you offer for CNC parts?

    We can leave your parts as-machined, or andonize, powder coat, bead blast, or hard coat andonize them. You can specify the finish you want when placing your order.

  • FAQ 4: What CNC material types do you offer?

    We can produce CNC parts in a number of metals or plastics. View our whole list of materials here.

  • FAQ 5: Do you offer rush production?

    Rush production is available for CNC orders. You can specifiy rush production when placing your order.

  • FAQ 6: What process is CNC considered to be?

    CNC is considered to be a subtractive process, since it works by cutting away at a block of material to form the desired object.

  • FAQ 7: What does CNC stand for?

    CNC means Computer Numerical Control. This refers to the manner in which a computer is programmed with numbers to create the part.
