Unlocking Design Freedom & Cost Efficiency
3D printing stainless steel (316L/17-4PH) dissolves traditional manufacturing barriers, enabling complex geometries impossible with CNC or casting. By eliminating tooling costs and slashing lead times by 85%, stainless steel 3D printing provides unprecedented agility for mission-critical applications. Our DMLS/SLM technology achieves 99.98% density with surface roughness down to Ra 1.6μm – outperforming sand casting by 400% in precision while cutting costs by 30-60%.
4 Strategic Cost Advantages
1. Zero Tooling Investment
- Save 8k−50k on molds/dies for prototypes & batches <500 units
- Design modifications at 90% lower cost (Case: Chemical reactor nozzle redesign: 220vs.2,100 CNC)
2. Material & Time Savings
| Process | Lead Time (Complex Part) | Material Waste |
|---|---|---|
| CNC Machining | 3-6 weeks | 70% |
| Our 3D Printing | 72 hours | <5% |
3. Integrated Post-Processing
- 🌟 Low-cost marine impellers: Salt-spray tested 316L parts at **95/unit∗∗(vs.280 cast)
- HIP + Bead blasting bundle: **55/part∗∗(Externalavg:175)
4. Volume-Based Pricing
