METALS

Ti6Al4V ELI (Grade 23) is an alpha + beta alloy with extra low interstitial elements (O, N, C). It guarantees high strength and long-term bone bonding. Furthermore it has low weight ratio, excellent biological compatibility, higher corrosion resistance, non-magnetic properties and high toughness.

Chromium-Cobalt (Co-Cr-Mo) is widely used in biomedical applications due to its excellent mechanical properties and corrosion resistance. It is also biocompatible, which means it does not cause adverse reactions when implanted in the body. This is crucial for applications such as joint replacements and dental implants.

Copper (Cu) is a popular metallic material because of its great thermal and electrical conductivity and high ductility. 3D printed parts exhibit high stiffness, low magnetic permeability and high elongation at break. One of its main physical characteristics is its reddish color that takes on a greenish hue by oxidation.
One of the advantages of copper 3D printing is the increased performance caused by the design freedom that only additive manufacturing can offer. Some common applications for copper parts are heat exchangers, induction coils, and heat pipes.

NYLON

PA2200 is a form of polyamide, commonly identified as Nylon. Widely used in a variety of industrial contexts and applications, PA2200 stands out as a versatile material due to its exceptional mechanical and chemical properties. Its characteristics are amplified by the possibility of 3D printing using SLS technology, allowing us to produce applications, prototypes or entire production batches.
This material is characterized by several key features that make it a remarkable material in production, such as:
- High Resolution and Selectivity: remarkable detail resolution and high selectivity, ideal for creating parts with precision.
- Strength and Rigidity: Sintered PA2200 parts have an excellent combination of strength and rigidity, providing mechanical strength and adaptability.
- Chemical Resistance: The material offers good resistance to chemicals, expanding its potential applications in various industrial contexts.
- Biocompatibility: Approved for use in medical devices and other applications requiring biocompatible materials, such as orthopaedic components.

RESINS

Wide range of resins for SLA printing offering an extraordinary range of possibilities, from engineering to custom design to be used in dental applications. Resins are liquid materials that solidify through a photopolymerisation process, usually using UV light. This allows the creation of fine details and smooth surfaces, making resins ideal for high-precision prototypes. There is a world of different resins, each with unique properties: from standard resins for rapid prototyping, to hard resins for functional parts, to biocompatible resins for medical applications.
