Titanium metal injecion molding
[If CNC machining too expensive, and your products require large-volume production and complex structures]
Significantly Reduced Production Costs: Material utilization exceeds 95%, halving raw material costs for mass production compared to traditional CNC machining.
One-Step Production of Complex Shapes: Similar to plastic injection molding, it can produce miniature complex parts with internal cavities, micropores, and external teeth in a single step, eliminating the need for welding and assembling multiple parts.
Uncompromised Performance: Sintering density reaches 96%-98%, offering heat and corrosion resistance, and mechanical strength equivalent to forgings.
Best for Your Needs: Parts weighing between 0.5g and 150g, with complex structures, and single order quantities exceeding several thousand pieces.
Common Materials: Ti-6Al-4V (Grade 5), Ti-6Al-4V ELI (Grade 23)
Titanium SLM 3D Printing
[If you urgently need samples, have complex structures that are impossible to machine, or require extreme weight reduction]
Eliminate expensive mold costs and get samples quickly: Print directly from CAD 3D drawings, eliminating mold-making time and significantly shortening your new product development cycle.
Achieve extreme lightweighting for “impossible” applications: Supports internal hollow, honeycomb lattice, and irregularly shaped tubular designs, helping you reduce weight by over 40% while maintaining aerospace-grade strength.
Eliminate hidden micropores: Standard hot isostatic pressing (HIP) post-processing eliminates internal micro-defects, alleviating your concerns about the fatigue life of printed parts.
Most suitable for: Biomedical implants (dental/orthopedic), high-end lightweight custom parts (such as irregularly shaped bicycle parts), and rapid prototyping stages.

The FAQs About 3D printing with titanium
Remember that not every project is a good fit for 3D printed metal parts. Prior to use 3D printing with titanium (or any other metal), one must assess the practicality of the process in comparison to conventional manufacturing techniques (such as casting, machining, or cutting). For this reason,you can provide your drawings and ideas and our professional team will evaluate them for you!
Why is titanium used for 3D printing?
Ti₆Al₄V is one of the most widely used alloys in metal 3D printing. It offers excellent mechanical strength, high strength-to-weight ratio, and superior corrosion resistance, making it an ideal choice for the aerospace, automotive, and medical industries.
How long does it take to 3D print titanium?
Mimicking a desktop printer, a bed of titanium powder is passed over with a laser print head, which instead of applying ink, uses a laser to sinter the powder, forming tough bonds, with zero waste. Over the course of 24 hours these 2D printed layers build up to create a 3D part.
How strong are 3D printed titanium parts?
Titanium powder, with micrometre-sized particles, is fired into a shape using a 3D-printing technique called laser-powder bed fusion. Then, the printed material is heat-treated at 480°C. The resulting material has an ultimate tensile strength of over 1600 megapascals – making it the strongest known 3D-printed metal.
Is titanium 3D printing suitable for mass production?
Yes, our titanium 3D printing has been mass-produced and is a supplier to many well-known companies around the world
