Additive Manufacturing Services — From CAD to Cast Part in Days
We don't just build the printers — we use them every day to deliver finished parts for customers worldwide. Sand molds, wax patterns, rapid casting, SLM metal parts, and more. One partner, end to end.
End-to-End Additive Manufacturing Services
From sand mold printing to finished metal castings, we cover the entire manufacturing chain. Every service is powered by 3DPTEK's own equipment, operated by our own engineers.
Sand Mold & Core Printing
Binder Jetting (3DP) and Selective Laser Sintering (SLS) sand mold production. Complex geometries without patterns. 3DP for speed and economy; SLS for superior surface finish.
Learn more →Wax Pattern Printing
SLS-printed PSB wax patterns for investment casting. No injection molds needed. LaserCore 5300 and 6000 systems for production volumes.
Learn more →Rapid Casting
CAD to metal part in days. We print sand molds on our Binder Jetting and SLS systems, pour metal in our foundries, and deliver finished parts — all under one roof.
Learn more →Rapid Prototype Casting
Functional metal prototypes in 5-7 days. Design validation before production commitment.
Learn more →Metal 3D Printing (SLM)
Selective Laser Melting (SLM) direct metal parts. Stainless steel (316L, 17-4PH), titanium (Ti6Al4V), aluminum (AlSi10Mg), tool steel, cobalt-chrome, and Inconel.
Learn more →Binder Jetting Metal
High-throughput metal 3D printing. Batch production at lower cost per part.
Learn more →Binder Jetting Ceramic
Ceramic 3D printing for high-temperature, biomedical, and specialty applications.
Learn more →Copper-Diamond Printing
Advanced copper-diamond composite printing for thermal management solutions.

Different parts demand different casting techniques. We offer the full spectrum from our 5 foundries.
Sand Casting
Most versatile. Aluminum, iron, steel. Prototype to production volumes.
Low-Pressure Casting
Superior density and mechanical properties for aluminum components.
Gravity Casting
Cost-effective for medium-complexity aluminum and copper alloy parts.
Investment Casting
Precision casting with excellent surface finish. Wax patterns + ceramic shell.
Centrifugal Casting
Ideal for cylindrical parts. Superior grain structure and density.
Squeeze Casting
High-integrity aluminum castings with near-wrought mechanical properties.
Lost Foam Casting
Complex geometries without cores. Excellent for one-off and small-batch production.
Plaster Mold Casting
Exceptional surface finish for art, architectural, and decorative castings.

Frequently Asked Questions About Our Services
Prototype castings: 5-7 business days from CAD approval. Small-batch production: 2-3 weeks. Large production runs: timeline depends on volume and complexity. We provide a detailed schedule with every quote.
We pour aluminum alloys (A356, AlSi10Mg, 6061), copper alloys (brass, bronze), cast iron (gray, ductile), and cast steel (carbon, stainless, alloy). Our 5 foundries cover the full range of ferrous and non-ferrous metals.
Yes. Our services scale from single prototype parts to production runs of thousands of units. We recommend 3D printed sand molds for prototypes and small batches, with the option to transition to traditional tooling for high volumes once designs are validated.
We accept STEP, IGES, STL, and native CAD formats (SolidWorks, CATIA, NX, Creo). Upload via our quote form or email to sales@lyafs.com. Our engineers review every file for manufacturability and will contact you if any adjustments are needed.
Our foundries are ISO 9001 certified. We perform in-house testing including spectrometry, tensile testing, hardness testing, X-ray/CT inspection, CMM dimensional verification, and dye penetrant inspection. Full material certifications and inspection reports are provided with every order.
Yes, we ship to customers across Asia, Europe, North America, and the Middle East. We handle all export documentation, customs clearance, and professional packaging. Shipping costs and timelines are included in every quote.
