Scalmalloy is a high-strength aluminum alloy, with a chemical composition optimized for laser powder bed fusion processes such as direct metal printing (DMP). Scalmalloy bridges the gap between traditional aluminum cast alloys (for example, AlSi10Mg) and Ti Gr23, and provides a combination of high specific strength (strength-to-weight ratio), excellent corrosion resistance, and good thermal and electrical conductivity.
Streamlined and cost-effective APWORKS certification with 3D Systems Application Innovation Group
3D Systems offers an optimized print parameter databased license for Certified Scalmalloy (A) on the DMP Flex 350 metal 3D printers that can be applied using the integrated additive manufacturing workflow software, 3DXpert. 3D Systems’ metal print parameters have been extensively developed, tested, and optimized in 3D Systems’ part production facilities, which have the unique distinction of printing more than 1,000,000 challenging metal production parts in various materials, year over year.
For companies looking at selling Certified Scalmalloy (A) parts, 3D Systems provides an optional, cost-effective standard service for smooth APWORKS certification through its Application Innovation Group (AIG).
