What is the 3D printing process for this material?
Direct Metal Laser Sintering (DMLS) is an additive manufacturing technology that builds high quality complex metal parts from 3D CAD data. In the machine, a high precision laser is directed to metal powder particles to selectively build up thin horizontal metal layers one after the other. This cutting edge technology allows for the production of metal parts with challenging geometries, not possible using traditional subtractive or casting technologies. A variety of functional metals are available to print designs, from prototypes to production series of up to 20,000 units.
Will there be support scarring on this part?
Direct Metal Laser Sintering does require the use of support material. The support structure is made of the same metal material as the part material and will leave support scarring, that can be post processed to provide a smooth surfact finish.
How long will it take before I receive my part in this material?
Production times vary depending on machine availability, but generally LaserForm 17-4PH 3D parts are printed and shipped within one to two weeks.
What is the minimum recommended feature size for this 3D printing technology?
The minimum recommended feature size is 0.010"
