Update: We no longer offer 3D metal printing, but we do now
offer
aluminum casting services.
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.
