3D Printing Aluminum

3D printing aluminum employs the Selective Laser Melting (SLM) method to create high-strength parts from aluminum alloys at 3DSPRO. 3D printed aluminum is widely used in aerospace and automotive industries for producing lightweight and durable components, such as enclosures, fuselage sections, and engine parts. It is ideal for rapid prototyping and small-batch production runs.

Advantages of Aluminum 3D Printing

  • Lightweight and Strong
  • Good Thermal Properties
