Direct Metal Laser Sintering is 3d printing in 100% metal. We use powdered metal and melt it with a 500Watt laser. Just like with plastic, we go layer by layer. Our price for parts is most heavily dependent on height, laser time and material cost are also part of the equation, but the height of the part is most influential. Our system has a roller mechanism that compacts the powder before it is sintered allowing our parts to be the most dense in the industry. We currently have access to Stainless Steel 17-4, Stainless Steel 316, Cobalt Chromium, Inconel 718, Inconel 625, Aluminum, Titanium. More powders are added all the time and we are able to print many more powders than what is listed here. With our partnership with our powder manufacturer, we have the lowest costs of metal powder available. If you or someone you know is in need of any type of powdered metal just let us know. Our parts are 99.99% dense. And we hold tolerances to +/- .003in.

Our cost does not heavy reply on cubic centimeter. It is more about height and laser time. We are able to run various alloys, and yes the cost of the alloy would make the part cost change. All of our parts are 99.99% dense and yes if you had a part that was hollow on the inside, all we would need to do is have a very small hole. Our parts are expensive. A 1in rook with a spiral staircase made in Stainless Steel 17-4 would be $45 if you were to buy 80 of them, but if you were to only buy 1 it would be $90 for the 1 piece.
