Metal Solutions for Fused Filament FabricationEasy and Cost-effective 3D Printing of Metal Parts

Our Metal Fused Filament Fabrication (MF³) experts can provide you with the opportunity to utilize high-quality metal parts and realize high output using this conventional 3D printing technique. Our metal fi laments are cost-effi cient, easy to process and meet the Metal Injection Molding (MIM) industry standard for catalytic debinding and sintering. Our industry-grade metal-polymer composites support a broad range of applications – including tooling, jigs and fi xtures, small series production, functional parts, prototypes, and complex artistic parts like jewelry.
