Metal 3D Printing Materials

Inconel 625

Nickel-chromium-based superalloy that is highly resistant to corrosion and high temperatures

When to Print with Inconel 625

Parts printed in Inconel 625 are significantly easier to produce than with traditional manufacturing methods, allowing you to easily create functional prototypes and end-use parts for harsh environments.

D2 Tool Steel

High-compression, wear-resistant tool steel for cold-working applications

When to Print with D2 Tool Steel

D2 Tool Steel offers excellent wear resistance and is widely used in cold-work applications that require high compressive strength, sharp edges, and abrasion resistance.

17-4 PH Stainless Steel

3D printed 17-4 PH Stainless Steel exceeds MIM standards and reaches 95% wrought strength under equal heat treatment.

When To Print With 17-4 PH Stainless Steel

17-4 PH Stainless Steel is a hard, stiff, and corrosion-resistant stainless steel. It excels in manufacturing environments and for low-volume parts.

H13 Tool Steel

Markforged printed and heat-treated H13 Tool Steel effectively matches wrought heat-treated steel in strength and hardness.

When to Print with H13 Tool Steel

H13 Tool Steel works excellently in high temperature and can withstand drastic cooling. This, coupled with abrasion resistance and machinability, makes it ideal for molds and wear-resistant pieces.

A2 Tool Steel

Markforged printed and heat treated A2 Tool Steel effectively matches wrought heat-treated A2 tool steel in hardness.

When to Print with A2 Tool Steel

A2 Tool Steel is a highly versatile air-hardening tool steel often regarded as a “universal” cold-work steel. It offers a combination of good wear resistance (between O1 and D2) and toughness.

Copper

Copper is a soft, ductile metal used primarily for its electrical and thermal conductivity.

When to Print with Copper

The ability to print pure copper using Metal X enables geometrically optimized parts that were previously expensive, time consuming, or impossible to make.
