Aluminum | Aluminum metal 3D printing offers a unique blend of lightness and strength with exceptional thermal conductivity and resistance to corrosion, making it an optimal choice for high-precision, durable prints. | SLM | Silvery Gray | ALSI10MG Aluminum Alloy |
Stainless Steel | Stainless steel is the ideal material for industrial 3D applications due to its unparalleled strength, resistance to corrosion and heat, and durability. It ensures the production of high-quality, precise parts with excellent mechanical properties. | SLM | Gray-black | 316L Stainless Steel |
Yes, at LRD Prototyping, we offer both selective laser melting (SLM) and direct metal laser sintering (DMLS) services. Our 3D printing capabilities extend to a wide range of metal alloys, including aluminum, titanium, stainless steel, copper, nickel-base superalloy, and bronze.
The cost of 3D printing can vary significantly, from a few dollars to hundreds or even thousands of dollars. The price depends on several factors, including the material, printer, printing time, model complexity, and cost of labor. For instance, metal 3D printing will typically cost more due to the higher material and machinery cost and the longer labor-intensive post-processing work involved.
In manufacturing, the quality of your last order determines your reputation. We take quality seriously and ensure that our 3D printed parts meet the highest standards. Once completed, your parts are transferred to our quality control department for inspection. We provide a comprehensive, standardized inspection report with every order to ensure that our quality metrics are being met.
Furthermore, we are able to provide multiple certifications upon request, including ISO 9001, ISO 14001, ISO 27001, and IATF 16949.
Industrial 3D printing is revolutionizing the manufacturing process. It offers a new way for individuals to design and create products in ways that were previously not possible. Instead of being constrained by traditional manufacturing methods, 3D printing enables designers to create intricate and complex shapes that were not feasible before. This is a significant advantage for rapidly developing new ideas and bringing them to market more efficiently.
One of the most appealing aspects of 3D printing is its ability to facilitate the creation of products that are precisely tailored to specific needs. This personalization can be achieved without incurring significant costs or delays. Additionally, 3D printing enables the production of only the necessary quantities, reducing waste and optimizing resource utilization.
Another noteworthy aspect of 3D printing is its compatibility with a diverse range of materials, including plastics and metals. This versatility positions 3D printing as a valuable tool across diverse industries, contributing to the manufacturing of components for airplanes, cars, medical devices, and more.
In essence, 3D printing is revolutionizing the manufacturing process by making things quicker, more customized, and better suited to what we need. It’s a whole new way of making things!
