Digital Metal to offer titanium 3D printing
Digital Metal extends the range of available material for its 3D printing technology. Ti6Al4V will be offered on top of already existing Stainless 316L and 17-4PH.
Ti6Al4V is widely known and used in the additive manufacturing industry. It combines high strength, hardness and ductility with high corrosion resistance. It also means a 45% weight reduction compared to conventional steel. The Digital Metal Ti6Al4V offer follows ISO 22068. Typical values can be seen in the table.
