Our metals
Five qualified materials for structural, corrosion-resistant, high-temperature and conductive applications.
How it works
Three steps to your finished part
Upload 3D model
Upload your CAD file directly on our website and select the desired material and process. You'll receive a transparent quote instantly. Add models to your cart and pay conveniently via Twint, PayPal, credit card, or invoice.
Start manufacturing
Our team manually reviews every order for printability and optimal quality. We then manufacture your prototypes or end products with state-of-the-art 3D printing technology, using FDM, SLA, SLS, MJF, and SLM depending on requirements.
Receive models
After production, your models are carefully packaged and shipped by post. Current delivery times can be found in the Material Finder for each material. Express delivery or on-site pickup is also available on request.
When is metal 3D printing worthwhile?
A direct comparison with CNC milling — both processes have their strengths. Here is an honest side-by-side.
Criterion
CNC
SLM
Geometric freedom
Undercuts, internal channels and organic geometries only possible to a limited extent.
Virtually no geometric constraints.
Quantity 1–10
High setup and programming effort per part.
No tooling costs, no clamping.
Function integration
Multiple individual parts with fasteners and tolerance chains.
Assemblies can be consolidated into one part.
Surface finish (direct)
Ra < 1.6 µm achievable without post-processing.
As-built Ra 5–15 µm, down to Ra 0.8 µm with post-processing.
Material efficiency
Up to 80 % material loss as chips.
Only the powder is fused; unused powder is recycled.
Scaling to high volume
Economically superior from several hundred identical parts.
Economical up to small series (typically ≤ 250 pieces).
