Aluminum 3D printing material
Aluminum alloy 3D printing has remarkable advantages, featuring high design freedom (capable of manufacturing complex structures and achieving customized production), excellent material properties (both high strength and light weight, as well as good mechanical properties), high production efficiency (rapid prototyping and integrated manufacturing are possible), and high material utilization rate (precisely adding materials), etc.
Primary Benefits:
- High stiffness and strength relative to weight
- Thermal and electrical conductivity
- High temperature and corrosion resistance

How Does Metal 3D Printing Work?
The DMLS machine begins sintering each layer—first the support structures to the base plate, then the part itself—with a laser aimed onto a bed of metallic powder. After a cross-section layer of powder is micro-welded, the build platform shifts down and a recoater blade moves across the platform to deposit the next layer of powder into an inert build chamber. The process is repeated layer by layer until the build is complete.
When the build finishes, an initial brushing is manually administered to parts to remove a majority of loose powder, followed by the appropriate heat-treat cycle while still fixtured in the support systems to relieve any stresses. Parts are removed from the platform and support structures are removed from the parts, then finished with any needed bead blasting and deburring. Final DMLS parts are near 100 percent dense.
