Metal 3D Printing Services
— SLM Direct Part Production
Upload your CAD file. We print fully dense metal parts using Selective Laser Melting — >99.5% density, 8 qualified materials, aerospace and medical grade quality. ±0.1mm/100mm accuracy. From prototype to serial production on the same platform.
What We Print — And What You Get
3DPTEK produces fully dense metal parts using Selective Laser Melting (SLM) on our in-house M Series and X Series printers. 30 years of process expertise means we can handle the parts other service bureaus turn down — complex internal channels, ultra-thin walls, medical-grade certification requirements.
±0.1mm Accuracy
Per 100mm. Tighter tolerances via post-process CNC. CMM verified on every batch.
5–10 Day Lead Time
Typical for prototypes. Production runs: 2–4 weeks. Rush available.
No Minimum Order
Single prototypes to thousands of units. Same process, same quality.
Global Delivery
Serving 30+ countries. Export-compliant documentation included.
Post-Processing
Heat treatment, CNC machining, polishing, HIP available in-house.
Full Traceability
Material certs, dimensional reports, mechanical test data with every shipment.
8 Metal Materials — All Qualified In-House
Every material below has been validated on our SLM equipment with documented process parameters. Not sure which to choose? Our engineers will recommend based on your application requirements.
Stainless Steel 316L
Corrosion-resistant. Tensile >520 MPa, elongation >40%. Fluid handling, medical instruments, food-grade parts.
Titanium TC4
Ti-6Al-4V, including TC4-ELI medical grade. >895 MPa tensile. Aerospace structures, surgical implants.
Aluminum AlSi10Mg
Lightweight, high thermal conductivity. ≥99.5% density. Automotive, 3C electronics, heat exchangers.
Mold Steel H13 / 18Ni300
50+ HRC after heat treatment. Maraging steel >1,900 MPa. Conformal cooling molds, die inserts.
Inconel 718 / 625
Creep-resistant to 700°C. Turbine blades, exhaust components, chemical processing equipment.
Cobalt-Chrome CoCrMo
Wear-resistant, biocompatible. Dental frameworks, orthopedic implants, high-temperature wear parts.
Tungsten Alloy
17+ g/cm³ density. Radiation shielding, aerospace counterweights, medical radiotherapy collimators.
Gradient Multi-Material (FGM)
Ti-Ta, stainless-to-tool-steel transitions within a single part. R&D and dual-property applications.

Our SLM Equipment Fleet
3DPTEK designs and manufactures its own SLM metal printers (M Series and X Series) in our Fanchang factory. Multi-laser configurations enable high throughput for production volumes. Every machine parameter is optimized by our own engineers — because we use these same machines in our service bureau.

SLM produces fully dense parts as-printed (>99.5% density) — best for aerospace, medical, and high-performance applications. Binder Jetting is faster and cheaper for medium volumes but requires post-sintering. Not sure? Send us your file and we''ll recommend the right process.
-
Yes. Heat treatment, CNC machining, polishing, sandblasting, anodizing, and HIP. Every part ships with inspection documentation.
