Metal 3D Printing Service

ACS Material offers large-format metal 3D printing (metal additive manufacturing) on XDM laser powder bed fusion (LPBF/SLM) systems — with build volumes up to 2000 × 2000 × 650 mm, a scale that very few service providers can produce. From functional prototypes to end-use production, we print fully dense metal parts in stainless steel, titanium, aluminum, nickel, cobalt-chrome, and copper alloys. Whether your part is oversized or simply demanding, every job is engineered and quoted to your specific project — contact us with your design for materials, feasibility, lead time, and pricing.

Metal 3D printing, or metal additive manufacturing, builds solid metal parts directly from a digital model. In laser powder bed fusion, a high-power laser selectively melts fine metal powder one thin layer at a time, fusing each layer to the one below until a fully dense component is complete. Because the part is grown rather than cut, the process makes geometries that are difficult or impossible to machine — internal cooling channels, conformal passages, lattice and topology-optimized structures, and consolidated assemblies that would otherwise require many separate machined and welded pieces. The result is strong, functional metal parts suitable for demanding prototypes and end-use production alike.

Large-format metal 3D printing — up to 2000 mm

This is where ACS Material stands apart. Most industrial metal LPBF systems have build envelopes of roughly 250–600 mm per side, so genuinely large metal parts must be split into sections and then joined — adding welds, fixturing, and points of failure. The XDM systems behind our service reach build volumes up to 2000 × 2000 × 650 mm, placing them at the very top of the industry for build size. That lets us produce large components as a single, seamless print: sizeable aerospace and energy hardware, large tooling and molds, and big topology-optimized structures — without the compromises of sectioning and welding. If a part is too large for a conventional metal 3D printing service, it is often exactly what our large-format capability is built for.

Metal 3D printing materials

We print a broad range of production-grade metal alloys, selected per project for the mechanical, thermal, and corrosion requirements of your part:

• Stainless steel. Strong, corrosion-resistant, and versatile — a general-purpose choice for functional prototypes, fluid-handling, and medical and industrial parts.
• Tool & maraging steel. High hardness and strength for tooling, molds, dies, and inserts — including molds with conformal cooling channels.
• Titanium alloys. An outstanding strength-to-weight ratio, excellent corrosion resistance, and biocompatibility — ideal for aerospace structures and medical implants.
• Aluminum alloys. Lightweight with good thermal conductivity and strength-to-weight — well suited to heat exchangers, brackets, and automotive and aerospace components.
• Cobalt-chrome. High wear and corrosion resistance, strength at elevated temperature, and biocompatibility — used in medical, dental, and turbine parts.
• Nickel-based alloys. Retain strength and resist oxidation at high temperature — the go-to family for combustion, aerospace, and energy hardware.
• Copper alloys. High thermal and electrical conductivity — used for heat exchangers, induction coils, and thermal-management components.

Applications

Our metal 3D printing service supports research and industry across a wide range of high-performance fields:

• Aerospace & defense. Thrust chambers, engine and structural brackets, ducting, and large lightweight components — where our large-format capability is a particular advantage.
• Medical & dental. Patient-specific implants, surgical instruments, and dental frameworks in titanium and cobalt-chrome.
• Energy & thermal management. Heat exchangers and cooling structures with complex internal channels that cannot be machined conventionally.
• Industrial tooling. Injection molds and dies with conformal cooling, plus custom jigs and fixtures.
• Automotive & motorsport. Lightweight, topology-optimized parts and low-volume production components.
• Electrical & induction. Copper induction coils and thermal-management hardware with intricate geometries.

How it works

Our metal 3D printing service is consultative and project-based — you work with us directly rather than through an automated portal, so materials, geometry, and finishing are matched to your application:

• 1. Send your design. Email or call us with your CAD file (STEP/STL) and requirements — material, quantity, tolerances, and application.
• 2. Review & quote. We assess feasibility and design-for-additive-manufacturing, then provide pricing and lead time for your part.
• 3. Printing. Your part is built on XDM laser powder bed fusion systems in the selected alloy.
• 4. Post-processing. Heat treatment, support removal, machining of critical features, and surface finishing as required.
• 5. Inspection & delivery. Parts are quality-checked and shipped to you.

Why choose ACS Material

• Industrial XDM technology. Our service runs on XDM laser powder bed fusion systems built for large, high-performance metal parts.
• Large-format capability. Build volumes up to 2000 mm let us make large metal parts that most service bureaus cannot.
• Materials expertise. As an established advanced-materials supplier, ACS Material understands metal powders and how alloy choice drives part performance.
• Consultative, engineering-led service. Every project is reviewed and quoted individually, with design-for-AM support rather than a one-size-fits-all portal.

Looking to bring metal additive manufacturing in-house instead? ACS Material also supplies the printers themselves — explore our XDM 3D metal printers.
