SLM 3D Printing Materials
SLM 3D printing offers a wide range of metals and alloys optimized for high precision and strong mechanical properties in finished parts. This ensures reliable performance and detailed accuracy for advanced applications.
Aluminum (AlSi10Mg)
This aluminum alloy offers good strength and lightweight properties, ideal for high-precision and complex-structure SLM 3D printing. It has excellent thermal conductivity and is widely used for aerospace and automotive parts manufacturing.
Stainless steel 316L
Known for its outstanding corrosion resistance and mechanical strength, 316L stainless steel is suitable for medical devices and food industry components. SLM printing ensures a dense structure with reliable performance.
Titanium TC4
TC4 titanium alloy is lightweight, high-strength, and highly corrosion-resistant, widely applied in aerospace and medical implants. The SLM process preserves its high-performance material characteristics.
Tool steel
Tool steel is designed for applications requiring high wear resistance and strength, commonly used in mold manufacturing and industrial parts. SLM printing delivers precise shapes and excellent mechanical properties to meet complex design demands.
Finishing Options for SLM 3D Printing
Spray painting
We paint parts following the customer's specified color patterns, including options like matte, high-gloss, electroplated-look, varnish, and leather finishes.
Polished
Surfaces are polished using different methods tailored to customer requirements. Transparent parts receive special polishing to enhance clarity and light transmission.
Electroplating
We offer electroplating to boost part strength, give a metal-like finish, and add certain metallic properties to the surface.
Inlay Nut
Internal threads are precisely processed at designated bottom hole positions as needed.
Glazing assembly
Parts are glazed to closely mimic handcrafted looks, backed by experienced assembly to ensure a polished final product.
Reinforced coating
Our specialized outer coatings strengthen the product’s structure, reduce wear, and help protect against damage during regular storage and use.
Testing Service
We use a range of measuring tools to provide accurate inspection services based on customer needs.

Pros & Cons of SLM 3D Printing
| Advantages | Considerations |
|---|---|
| Wide selection of metals suited for industrial use | Cost is high if parts aren’t designed specifically for SLM |
| Makes complex features and internal channels without added cost | Requires experienced design and process knowledge to get right |
| No tooling means faster turnaround for prototypes and short runs | Best for small to medium-sized parts due to machine limits |
| Can print multiple parts in a single build to save time and cost | Surface is typically rough and needs finishing |
| Extra post-processing like support removal and heat treatment often needed |
