Frequently Asked Questions from Minnesota Clients
What metal 3D printing technologies do you use?
We primarily utilize advanced Binder Jetting and DMLS (Direct Metal Laser Sintering) technologies for producing high-quality metal parts. These methods allow for a wide range of materials and complex geometries with excellent surface finish and mechanical properties, ideal for industrial applications in Minnesota.
What kind of tolerances can I expect on metal 3D printed parts?
Tolerances for metal 3D printed parts vary based on the material, geometry, and post-processing. Generally, we achieve tolerances of �0.005 inches (�0.127 mm) or better, with tighter tolerances possible for specific features through additional machining. We recommend discussing your specific tolerance requirements with our engineering team during the quoting process.
Can you help with design for additive manufacturing (DFAM) for metal parts?
Absolutely! Our engineers are experts in DFAM for metal components. We can review your designs and provide recommendations to optimize them for metal 3D printing, ensuring the best possible part quality, performance, and cost-effectiveness. This includes advice on support structures, wall thickness, and stress reduction specific to your application.
