Metal 3D printing, also known as metal additive manufacturing (AM), has evolved far beyond prototyping. Today, it delivers production-ready, high-performance parts for industries that demand precision, durability, and design freedom.
With the global metal 3D printing market projected to grow from $3 billion in 2024 to nearly $20 billion by 2031, it’s clear this technology is transforming how we manufacture everything from aerospace components to medical implants.
Metal AM stands out because of its mechanical strength, accuracy, and efficiency. Common materials such as 17-4PH stainless steel, 316L stainless steel, titanium, and aluminum offer:
Because metal 3D printed parts are stronger and longer-lasting, they reduce replacements, streamline maintenance, and lower total lifecycle costs.
Traditional manufacturing is limited by casting, tooling, and machining constraints, hindering innovation. Metal 3D printing changes that by building parts layer by layer, enabling:
This design freedom empowers engineers to create smarter, lighter, and more efficient components that outperform traditionally machined parts.
Metal additive manufacturing accelerates production by eliminating multiple steps in the traditional supply chain.
The result is a more agile and responsive production process, one that enables rapid iteration and faster time-to-market.
At ABCorp 3D, we specialize in creating production-grade 3D printed parts using 17-4PH stainless steel, one of the most trusted and widely used alloys in industrial and defense manufacturing.
17-4PH steel is a precipitation-hardening stainless steel renowned for its exceptional strength and corrosion resistance, making it an ideal choice for aerospace, tooling, and mechanical components that operate in harsh environments.
Key Advantages:
Whether you need tough, durable prototypes or fully qualified production parts, 17-4PH delivers performance you can rely on.
Using state-of-the-art binder jetting technology, ABCorp 3D produces high-resolution metal components with fine feature detail and smooth surface finish.
Our equipment offers native 1600 × 1600 DPI precision, ensuring tight tolerances and superior aesthetics even on complex geometries.
This enables you to transition seamlessly from prototype to production on the same platform, reducing costs, shortening lead times, and ensuring consistent part quality.
Metal 3D printing also drives sustainability and resource efficiency:
By minimizing waste and maximizing performance, metal additive manufacturing aligns with modern ESG and carbon-reduction goals.
Our expertise includes:
From design consultation to post-processing, ABCorp 3D ensures every part meets strict performance and quality standards.
Metal AM isn’t just the future; it’s the present standard for modern manufacturing. Its combination of strength, speed, sustainability, and flexibility enables businesses to produce parts more efficiently, faster, and with less waste.
At ABCorp 3D, we continue to invest in new technologies that empower our customers to lead in aerospace, healthcare, automotive, and beyond.
