Laser powder bed fusion for functional metal parts: internal channels, lattices and consolidated assemblies that cannot be machined or cast economically. Printed in stainless steel, aluminium, titanium and nickel alloys — then post-processed and machined to tolerance.
Numbers below describe what our floor actually holds. If your part exceeds them, we will say so rather than take the order and fail later.
| Parameter | Value |
|---|---|
| Maximum build size | Matched to your part — we run multiple metal platforms and allocate the right machine for each order; the quote states the exact platform |
| Layer thickness | 20–60 µm |
| Typical tolerance | ±0.1 mm or ±0.3% (whichever is greater); machined fits tighter |
| As-built surface roughness | Ra 8–12 µm; reduced by bead blasting or polishing |
| Minimum wall thickness | 0.4 mm recommended |
| Lead time | 5–8 working days including post-processing |
| Materials | 316L, 17-4PH, AlSi10Mg, Ti-6Al-4V, Inconel 718 |
This is the conversation most suppliers avoid. We quote both routes so you can see the real numbers.
Stress relief, support removal, bead blasting, polishing, machining of bores and threads, and material certificates on request. Metal parts are never shipped straight off the build plate.
Robotics end effectors, heat sinks and cold plates, lightweight brackets, impellers, medical instruments, tooling inserts, and replacement parts for legacy equipment where drawings no longer exist.
For simple turned parts, CNC is usually 40–70% cheaper. You will hear that from us before you place an order.
