Applications for titanium.

For parts that carry high loads and still have to be light.

Lightweight titanium Ti6Al4V bracket with a lattice core

  • Lightweight design under load

    Brackets and structural parts for aviation, motorsport and robotics, where every gram counts.

  • Lattice structures

    Fine, high-strength lattices that save weight or absorb energy.

  • Corrosive environment

    Resistant to salt water and many chemicals, even under mechanical load.

  • Elevated temperature

    Withstands continuous service up to around 350 °C, where aluminium has long since given way.

When another process is a better fit.

  • Cost is the priority

    Titanium is the most expensive metal in our range. Where aluminium is sufficient, it is considerably cheaper.

  • Corrosion without high loads

    For corrosion-resistant parts without lightweight requirements, stainless steel 316L is often sufficient.

  • Simple geometry

    Simple shapes are often cheaper when milled, even though titanium is difficult to machine.

  • Large, solid parts

    A large volume makes titanium very expensive. Design solid parts hollow, with a lattice or in a different material.

Design rules.

Follow these values and the part will fit on the first print.

Titanium parts with lattice structures

  • Wall thickness

    At least 0.4 mm for supported walls, 0.5 mm for unsupported walls.

  • Holes

    From 0.5 mm diameter. Through channels need an opening so that the powder can be removed.

  • Details

    Embossed and engraved details from 0.2 mm.

  • Overhangs

    Surfaces flatter than 45° need supports and are rougher on the underside. Steep surfaces stay smooth.

  • Accuracy

    ±0.2 mm. Machine fits and sealing surfaces after printing.

  • Layer and build volume

    0.03 mm layer thickness, parts up to 350 × 400 × 360 mm.

Surface and post-processing.

  • As printed

    Matt, dark grey surface, roughness Ra approx. 9–12 µm.

  • Blasted

    Uniformly matt, roughness Ra approx. 5–9 µm.

  • Threads and fits

    Titanium is difficult to machine. Threads and fitting surfaces on request.

Frequently asked questions.

  • Usually within 7–10 working days of ordering, depending on size and post-processing. After upload, the online quoting tool shows the exact delivery date.
  • The powder and the processing are more demanding. The price depends mainly on volume: hollow or lattice parts are considerably cheaper than solid ones. Upload your CAD file and the price appears in seconds.
  • After heat treatment, over 1000 MPa tensile strength at a density of 4.41 g/cm³. That is more than twice the strength of printed aluminium, at around 1.6 times the density.
  • STEP and STL. STEP is preferable because dimensions and holes are transferred exactly.
  • Yes, threads are cut after printing. Specify them in your inquiry or write to us.
