ProMetal delivers unique solutions to many common challenges that manufacturers face today…including the ability to fabricate without tooling.
ProMetal offers the very latest in rapid manufacturing technology. The ProMetal® 3D Printing process produces fully functional metal workpieces directly from CAD files in a matter of days rather than weeks or months. It utilizes a layering technique to print your workpiece one layer at a time from metal powder.
Among the benefits are virtually unlimited design flexibility, complex internal geometries, undercuts, angled passages, and the opportunity to create countless other component features that would be impossible to duplicate with traditional machining methods.
Entire assemblies can be generated using the ProMetal 3D process. If you design it, we can print it.
Also, by utilizing the power of the internet, printing your 3D metal part or tool is as easy as attaching a file to an e-mail and sending it directly to us.
Choose ProMetal for the ultimate in design and manufacturing flexibility.
Forming Process:
Print functional parts in hours directly from CAD
Metal parts are built in a layered fashion. Each layer is comprised of two materials add sequentially:
A. Powdered Metal
recoater applies the powdered metal on the build platform.
B. Bound Metal
The printhead selectively dispenses the resin in the powdered metal. This temporarly builds the part untill it can be sintered to the specified density.
1. Print
2. New layer
3. Spread
4. Repeat
5. Finishing
Selectively dispense binder using inkjet printing technology
The build platform is
lowered by a set increment.
Spreads a new layer of powdered metal.
Repeat Steps 1-3, until the part is built.
Unbound metal is removed. Metal parts are thermally processsed.
