Metal (LPBF)

Titanium 3D printing

Ti6Al4V (Grade 5) is the most widely used titanium alloy: strong and light, it is 3D printed by powder-bed fusion (LPBF). We offer titanium 3D printing, quoted job by job.

What it is for

Ti6Al4V is used where strength, low weight and corrosion resistance are needed together: lightened structural brackets and supports, components for racing vehicles, drones and robots, parts in contact with sea water or chemicals, manifolds and heat exchangers with internal channels. Powder-bed printing gives optimized geometries and wastes little of a material that is expensive to mill.

It does not pay when weight is not a constraint: stainless steel does the same job with a less expensive material, and aluminum is enough for many light, lightly loaded parts. For very high temperatures Inconel is the better fit.

Typical values from the makers' data sheets, measured on specimens under the conditions stated. They are not guaranteed design values: for a critical application ask us for a test on your part.

Design limits

Build volume: 400 × 400 × 400 mm
Minimum feature: 0.75 mm
Dimensional tolerance: ±0.2% (minimum ±0.1–0.2 mm)

These are the limits of the process, the same for every variant unless stated. For critical dimensions, talk to us before printing.

Which variant to choose

In titanium we offer the Ti6Al4V Grade 5 alloy. Choose aluminum if the part is lightly loaded and only weight matters; stainless steel if you need strength with no weight constraint. Other titanium alloys are on request.

FAQ

Frequently asked questions

The process data sheet reports, for heat-treated parts with 40 µm layers, a tensile strength of 1080 MPa, a yield strength of 970 MPa in XY and 1010 MPa in Z, an elongation at break of 14% and 15% and a hardness of 30–35 HRC. The density is 4.4 g/cm³. The sheet does not state the test standard.

For the same volume titanium weighs more than aluminum but is much stronger: it pays when the part is loaded and the geometry can be lightened, or when corrosion resistance is needed. For enclosures, heat sinks and lightly loaded brackets aluminum is enough and costs less.

We issue no declaration of suitability for medical use or for contact with the body on printed parts. Ti6Al4V is an alloy also used in the medical field, but suitability depends on process, finish and documentation. If your project has requirements of this kind, write to us before asking for a quote.
