Metal printing with LPBF

Manufacturing with Laser Powder Bed Fusion

At Primary, we laser powder bed fusion to produce metal components. Our LPBF machine prints steel parts with material properties comparable to wrought steel.

The process uses uses inert gas, metallic powder, and a laser to melt layers into a solid, single metal part.

Post-processing like annealing or heat treating is typically required.

Advantages

  • Production-grade metal components

  • Complex shapes

  • Part size and weight reduction

  • Properties comparable to wrought metals
