Additive manufacturing with technical precision
We work with 3D printing aluminum to manufacture functional components. Through carefully controlled process parameters and advanced process control, parts with uniform density and high repeatability are achieved. This manufacturing method makes it possible to replace multiple machined or cast parts with a single optimized geometry, which simplifies the design and reduces both weight and assembly time.
Our production is carried out in a controlled atmosphere to avoid oxidation and ensure that each build job meets requirements for surface finish, dimensional accuracy and material structure. The result is components that can be used directly or after minimal post-processing in applications with high technical demands.

Characteristics in aluminum in additive manufacturing
3D printing aluminum takes advantage of the material's unique combination of low density, strength and thermal conductivity. By melting layers of powder with a laser, we can create components with internal channels, thin walls and complex geometries that were previously impossible to produce.
The material is often used when the construction requires:
- low mass for moving systems or robotics,
- high heat transfer in heat sinks or electronics housings,
- corrosion resistance in marine or humid environments.
The alloy commonly used is AlSi10Mg, a well-proven standard in additive manufacturing. It provides a good balance between strength, ductility and thermal conductivity. The combination of material and process makes 3D printing aluminum an effective method for both prototype and series production.
From design to verified component
We follow a structured process to ensure quality and traceability throughout the entire manufacturing chain.
- We analyze the geometry and identify areas where additive manufacturing can provide measurable benefits.
- Parameters are optimized for layer thickness, energy and orientation.
- Monitoring of laser energy and melt bed data.
- Post-processing and measurement.
Each step is documented to meet industrial quality requirements. This way, 3D printing aluminum can be integrated into your existing quality management system and meet the same standards as traditional machining.
Advantages of 3D printing aluminum
- Shorter lead times for product changes
- Possibility of integrated cooling channels
- Reduced waste of raw materials
- Effective start of production for small series
In addition, the design can be optimized for topology, meaning that material is only used where it is really needed. This combination of low weight and functional integration makes 3D printing aluminum a sustainable choice from both a technical and resource perspective.
Typical uses
3D printing aluminum is used in a range of industrial applications where the combination of low weight and thermal conductivity is important:
- Heat exchangers and heat sinks for electronics and battery systems
- Mounts, holders and enclosures with high rigidity and low mass requirements
- Robot components and fixtures that require an optimized balance between strength and freedom of movement
- Lightweight structures in the transportation and aerospace industries
COOPERATION AND ADVICE
We work closely with your designers and buyers to ensure that the technology is utilized effectively. When you provide CAD data and requirements specifications, we develop recommendations for construction strategy, tolerances and finishing.
As part of our overall solution, we also offer advice on material selection for other alloys, for example: stainless steel, titan and maraging steel via our service for 3D printing in metal.
Our goal is to provide decision-making information that enables you to implement additive manufacturing in a controlled and cost-effective manner.
