We are offering an exciting new prototyping technology called 3D Metal Printing through one of our qualified partners.

Applications:
Complex shapes:
   - Curves, undercuts, spirals, angled internal features
Internal cooling channels (useful for injection molds)
Jigs, Fixtures
Artistic models

How it Works:
The prototyping system spreads out thin layers of metal powder and fuses together the appropriate sections of each layer over and over until a 3-D model is generated. The powder model is then cured in an oven to become a strong, solid metal object.

Min/Max Dimensions:
29 x 15 x 15 inches maximum
0.08 inches (2 mm) minimum wall thickness
0.01 inches (0.25 mm) thin features (such as raised text)
Dimensional Tolerance: 0.005" (0.13 mm) for medium size parts

Pricing:
Cost: $35-55 per cubic inch of material used* ($2.10-3.30 per cc)
Polishing: Add $5 per part
Minimum: $150
* Tip: Save money by designing your bigger models as hollow shells (0.1-inch walls) with a 0.2-inch drain hole on the bottom.
