Rapid Prototyping Value Pillars
Three core advantages that make additive rapid prototyping the fastest path from design validation to production-ready titanium components.
Accelerated Time-to-Market
3-5 Business Days Lead TimeSlicing lead times down to 3-5 business days by eliminating traditional tooling setups, mold fabrication, and lengthy CAM programming — enabling rapid design-build-test loops for NPI programs.
- No hard tooling — designs go directly from CAD to printer in hours
- Parallel build scheduling for multi-part prototyping kits
- Expedited shipping via DHL/FedEx worldwide upon completion
- Same-day production start for urgent engineering validation runs
100% Functional Testing Ready
≥99.5% Relative Density, Forging-Grade StrengthFull-density titanium components with mechanical integrity equivalent to wrought forgings — built for physical destructive stress tests, proof-of-concept validation, and pre-production certification trials.
- Relative material density ≥99.5% per ASTM B311 Archimedes method
- Tensile strength 950-1,050 MPa matching forged Ti-6Al-4V specs
- Suitable for hydrostatic pressure, burst, and fatigue testing
- Material certs provided with every prototype shipment
Zero-Cost Design Alterations
Modify CAD Files, No Wasted ToolingUnlike machining or injection molding, additive prototyping allows unlimited design iterations at zero hard tooling cost — ideal for fluid engineering cycles where geometry evolves rapidly between reviews.
- Modify CAD files and re-print — no mold re-cut or fixture re-build costs
- Iterate topology, wall thickness, and internal channels freely
- Print multiple design variants in a single build for side-by-side comparison
- Digital inventory eliminates warehouse storage between iterations
Rapid Prototyping Performance Dashboard
Speed, volume, and geometric boundaries of our titanium rapid prototyping service — from single-unit NPI parts to complex lattice structures.
Standard Turn-Around Time
Shipped worldwide via DHL/FedEx — from file acceptance to delivered prototype, including printing, stress relief, support removal, and surface finishing.
Minimum Order Quantity
No minimum batch constraints — tailored for strict NPI (New Product Introduction) validation, single-unit functional testing, and design proof-of-concept builds.
General Dimensional Tolerances
As-printed parameters controlled within ±0.1 mm to ±0.2 mm bounds — suitable for fit-check and form-validation prototypes before production commit.
Lattice Strut Micro-Diameter
Ultra-lightweight structural configurations achievable with minimum lattice strut diameters down to 200 µm — enabling weight-optimized aerospace and medical lattice structures.
Hybrid Additive-Subtractive Post-Processing
Combining the geometric freedom of SLM with the precision of 5-axis machining and surface finishing — delivering prototypes that meet production-grade tolerances and surface quality.
CNC Post-Machining Integration
As-printed SLM titanium components have surface roughness (Ra 6-12 µm) and dimensional tolerances (±0.1-0.2 mm) that are insufficient for bearing bores, threaded holes, precision mating surfaces, and tight-tolerance interface features required in aerospace and medical assemblies.
Strategic Allowances on Printed Blanks → 5-Axis CNC Finishing to ±0.005 mm
- Printed blanks designed with 0.3-0.5 mm stock allowance on all critical features — bearing bores, threaded holes, dowel pin locations, and sealing surfaces
- Blanks transferred to 5-axis machining centers with integrated soft-jaw or custom fixture referencing the as-printed datum surfaces established during build
- CNC finishing achieves tolerances up to ±0.005 mm on critical features — matching full-production machined component specifications
- Single setup on 5-axis machine enables concentricity correction: printed bore centerlines are re-machined true to each other, eliminating any as-built positional drift
Surface Quality Upgrades
Raw as-printed titanium surfaces exhibit a characteristic matte texture with partially sintered powder particles, layer line ridges (Ra 6-12 µm), and occasional spatter adhesion — unsuitable for applications requiring smooth sealing surfaces, aesthetic appearance, or enhanced corrosion/wear resistance.
Bead Blasting, Chemical Polishing & Anodization — Down to Ra 0.8 µm
- Bead blasting with fine alumina or glass beads (50-100 µm) at controlled pressure removes partially sintered surface particles and reduces roughness to Ra 3-5 µm — standard finish for most prototype applications
- Chemical polishing (immersion in HF/HNO₃ acid bath) selectively dissolves surface asperities, achieving Ra 0.8 µm finish while removing an additional 10-20 µm of the as-printed surface layer — eliminating layer line visibility
- Type II anodization (per AMS 2488) builds a 2-5 µm dense oxide layer, enhancing surface hardness to 350-400 HV and providing wear-resistant passivation against galling and fretting in threaded assemblies
- All surface treatments are performed in-house with full process control — bead blast pressure, chemical bath temperature, anodization voltage, and seal parameters logged per part serial number
