Was ist Metall-3D-Druck?
Metal 3D printing, also known as additive manufacturing, uses metal powders that are fused together layer by layer using advanced laser-based technologies. This process allows for the creation of complex geometries with high precision, producing near fully dense metal parts that meet the highest industrial standards.
Additive Manufacturing Using Metal Powders
In metal 3D printing, metal powders are precisely laid down and fused using lasers, building the part layer by layer. This allows for parts with intricate designs and minimal material waste.
Laser-Based Fusion (DMLS / SLM)
Direct Metal Laser Sintering (DMLS) and Selective Laser Melting (SLM) are laser-based fusion technologies used in metal 3D printing to melt metal powders, ensuring high accuracy and density in the final product.
Produces Near Fully Dense Metal Parts
Metal 3D printing produces parts with near full density, ensuring high strength and durability, making them ideal for aerospace, automotive, and medical applications.
Toleranzen beim 3D-Druck von Metall
Our metal 3D printing services ensure precision in every part, with options for normal or high-resolution printing, and precise guidelines for minimum feature size, wall thickness, and large-format builds. We guarantee dimensional accuracy for a variety of industrial applications, from prototypes to production runs.

Surface Finishes for Metal 3D Printed Parts
Metal 3D printed parts can benefit from a variety of surface finishes to enhance their appearance, durability, and overall performance. Whether you need a smooth, polished look or a more industrial finish, Yicen Precision offers tailored solutions for every need. Explore our different surface finishing options below.
The quickest and most economical option. It leaves visible tool marks and sharp edges but is ideal for prototypes and functional parts.
Creates a smooth, matte finish by blasting with glass beads, offering improved aesthetic and uniform surface texture.
A linear, satin-like texture created by abrasive belts or brushes. It reduces minor imperfections and offers a clean, decorative look.
A smooth, glossy finish achieved through mechanical buffing. It’s ideal for decorative parts requiring enhanced shine and low roughness.
Bietet eine hochglänzende Oberfläche, die das Aussehen und die Glätte verbessert, ideal für Teile, die sowohl schön als auch funktionell sein müssen.
Fügt eine dicke Beschichtung hinzu, die die Härte, Verschleißfestigkeit und Langlebigkeit erhöht - perfekt für hochbelastete Teile wie Wellen und Kolben.
Eine dünne, galvanisch aufgebrachte Nickelschicht, die die Verschleiß- und Korrosionsbeständigkeit erhöht und eine attraktive Oberfläche für Funktionsteile bietet.
Eine chemische Behandlung, die eine dunkle, mattschwarze Oberfläche auf Stahlteilen erzeugt. Sie bietet eine geringe Korrosionsbeständigkeit und verringert die Lichtreflexion.
Design Guidelines for Metal 3D Printing
Effective design choices are crucial in ensuring the strength, durability, and manufacturability of metal 3D printed parts. The following guidelines provide detailed specifications to help optimize your designs for the best performance and cost-efficiency.
Entwurfsparameter | Spezifikation |
Mindestwanddicke | Minimum wall thickness for metal 3D printing is typically 0.4 mm for most materials; thinner walls may reduce part strength and durability. |
Größenbeschränkungen für Merkmale | Smallest feature size: 0.2 mm; features below this size may affect print quality and strength. |
Überlegungen zur Stützstruktur | Parts with overhangs greater than 45° require support structures to ensure proper printing. These structures must be designed for easy removal post-print. |
Orientation for Strength | Orient parts to optimize strength in critical areas. For example, vertical orientation provides maximum strength along the build layer. |
Cost-Reduction Design Tips | Simplify parts by consolidating multiple components into a single print. Avoid unnecessary internal voids and over-complicated geometries to lower costs. |
Interne Geometrien | Design internal structures such as lattice patterns for lightweight components while maintaining strength. Ensure internal features are accessible for support removal. |
Tolerance and Accuracy | Typical tolerance for metal 3D printing is ±0,1 mm. For high-precision parts, consider post-processing options like machining to improve tolerance. |
Auswahl des Materials | Choose materials based on the application. For instance, Inconel for high-temperature resistance, Titan for aerospace parts, and 316L Stainless Steel for medical applications. |
Surface Finish Considerations | Metal 3D prints typically have a rough finish that may require post-processing such as bead blasting or polishing for aesthetic or functional purposes. |
