But here at AM Printservice we see something different every day. We use 3D printing in steel for everything from prototypes to series production \u2013 and sometimes a single spare part is enough to make a difference.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">When a steel spare part is unavailable \u2013 we print it&nbsp;<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>One of our customers needed a spare part for a gym machine \u2013 a simple metal tube that couldn\u2019t be ordered as a spare part. He had one left and needed two. Traditional manufacturing? Too expensive. Instead, we chose 3D printing in metal.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>We started by carefully measuring the original, then created an accurate 3D model in SolidWorks. With the model ready, we printed the part in 316L stainless steel, a material that combines strength with corrosion resistance. The result was a fully functional replica \u2013 identical in form and function. The only difference? We skipped the polishing, as it wasn\u2019t required. This saved both time and money.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Why we use 316L stainless steel&nbsp;<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>When we print steel spare parts using 3D technology, we usually work with a pre-alloyed austenitic stainless steel \u2013 316L. This material meets standards such as AISI 316L, DIN 17006 X2CrNiMo17-12-2 and W.Nr 1.4404, and has several advantages:&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>High corrosion resistance<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Excellent strength<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Withstands extreme temperatures, even cryogenic levels&nbsp;<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>This makes it a reliable choice in everything from the food industry to offshore, medicine and the energy sector.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Advanced technology delivers precise results&nbsp;<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>We use LPBF (Laser Powder Bed Fusion) technology \u2013 sometimes called SLM or DMLS \u2013 where a laser system fuses metal powder layer by layer. The process is done with micrometer precision and allows us to manufacture durable parts with very fine detail and a smooth surface.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The equipment we work with is MetalFab from Additive Industries \u2013 a system developed for industrial 3D printing in steel, with a high degree of automation and repeatable quality. With a layer depth of 60 microns, the surface is so smooth from the start that we often do not need post-processing.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">3D printing in steel \u2013 when you need parts that last&nbsp;<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Do you need a custom component, spare part or small series? We take care of the entire chain \u2013 from digital modeling to finished product. Whether you have a CAD file, a damaged part or just an idea, we can help you.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>At AM Printservice, 3D printing in steel is not just a technology \u2013 it is a way to solve real problems quickly and precisely. Get in touch and we will find a solution that suits your production needs.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-buttons is-layout-flex wp-block-buttons-is-layout-flex\">\n<div class=\"wp-block-button\"><a class=\"wp-block-button__link wp-element-button\" href=\"https:\/\/www.amprintservice.com\/en\/contact\/\">Contact us<\/a><\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Det \u00e4r l\u00e4tt att tro att 3D-utskrifter i st\u00e5l fr\u00e4mst l\u00e4mpar sig f\u00f6r avancerade konstruktioner.
