New Materials
Direct metal print from asteroid metals, Planetary Resources 01788 577 288
When a new material is launched a new application becomes available. That’s why a simple question like “Can I produce this?” is always worth asking. 3D Systems is both the originator of 3D printing and the shaper of the future of 3D solutions, making them accessible, productive and gratifying to transform ideas into tangible outcomes. If it can’t be done today our aim is to make it happen tomorrow. For example, one of our materials include asteroid metals! Some of the more common materials are: Maraging Steel
Kevlar
Titanium
Nylon 11,12
Inconel
Nylon composites (glass, carbon, alum)
Cobalt chrome
PTU
Stainless Steel
ABS
Aluminum
PLA
Carbon Fibre
Wax
