Huge sheets that are turned into car and machine parts? Or maybe you think of everyday household items like Aluminum foil or soda cans. Whatever you think of, you probably never thought you could turn it into an amazing product yourself.<\/p>\n<p dir=\"ltr\">Until now, that is.<\/p>\n<p dir=\"ltr\">Today we welcome Aluminum to our materials portfolio &#8211; it&#8217;s the perfect material for tools, drone parts and gadgets and is incredibly unique in the way it is made and how it can be used.<\/p>\n<p dir=\"ltr\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-medium wp-image-23358\" alt=\"email-header-aluminum-launch\" src=\"https:\/\/www.shapeways.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/01\/email-header-aluminum-launch-461x500.jpg\" width=\"461\" height=\"500\" data-wp-pid=\"23358\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.shapeways.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/01\/email-header-aluminum-launch-461x500.jpg 461w, https:\/\/www.shapeways.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/01\/email-header-aluminum-launch-249x270.jpg 249w, https:\/\/www.shapeways.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/01\/email-header-aluminum-launch-276x300.jpg 276w, https:\/\/www.shapeways.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/01\/email-header-aluminum-launch.jpg 600w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 461px) 100vw, 461px\" \/><\/p>\n<p dir=\"ltr\">(<a href=\"https:\/\/www.shapeways.com\/product\/LR5J593S8\/klein-bottle-opener?li=search-results-1&amp;optionId=2351824\">Klein Bottle Opener<\/a> by <a href=\"https:\/\/www.shapeways.com\/shops\/bathsheba\">Bathsheba<\/a>)<\/p>\n<p dir=\"ltr\">Aluminum was introduced as a pilot material last year, and since then we&#8217;ve been busy working with community members to perfect this amazing material. While all new materials are exciting to introduce, we&#8217;re so glad to start 2016 off with Aluminum because it really showcases how far the 3D printing industry has come and where it&#8217;s headed in the future.<\/p>\n<p dir=\"ltr\">Whether you&#8217;re a Shapeways pro and have been designing with us for years, or you&#8217;re thinking about trying 3D printing for the first time, Aluminum might just be the perfect material for you!<\/p>\n<p dir=\"ltr\"><strong>Why is it so cool?<\/strong><\/p>\n<p dir=\"ltr\">First, a few facts to get you familiar with this new material. Our 3D printed Aluminum has:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>The highest strength to weight ratio of all our materials<\/li>\n<li>High corrosion resistance<\/li>\n<li>High thermal conductivity<\/li>\n<li>The ability to support interlocking parts<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p dir=\"ltr\">As many of you already know, we have offered various metals for years. However, Aluminum is unique because of the way we are able to print it. Using a process called selective laser melting (SLM), the material is directly melted and fused from a bed of metallic powder that results in a solid alloy. It is similar to the selective laser sintering (SLS) process we use to manufacture Strong and Flexible Plastic. However, in SLM the high power laser provides enough energy to <em>fully<\/em>\u00a0melt the metallic powder, which is then quickly cooled to solidify the metal.\u00a0The outcome is a strong, homogenous and high tolerance metal part that can result in shapes and designs that are impossible to create through traditional manufacturing methods.<\/p>\n<p dir=\"ltr\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-medium wp-image-23360\" alt=\"blog-image-aluminum-launch-puzzle\" src=\"https:\/\/www.shapeways.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/01\/blog-image-aluminum-launch-puzzle-625x468.jpg\" width=\"625\" height=\"468\" data-wp-pid=\"23360\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.shapeways.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/01\/blog-image-aluminum-launch-puzzle-625x468.jpg 625w, https:\/\/www.shapeways.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/01\/blog-image-aluminum-launch-puzzle-360x270.jpg 360w, https:\/\/www.shapeways.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/01\/blog-image-aluminum-launch-puzzle-300x225.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.shapeways.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/01\/blog-image-aluminum-launch-puzzle.jpg 800w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 625px) 100vw, 625px\" \/><\/p>\n<p dir=\"ltr\">(<a href=\"https:\/\/www.shapeways.com\/product\/P7S9UNE58\/horse-shoe-and-ring-puzzle\">Horse Shoe and Ring Puzzle<\/a> by <a href=\"https:\/\/www.shapeways.com\/shops\/stop4stuff\">stop4stuff<\/a>)<\/p>\n<p dir=\"ltr\"><strong>What can I make?<\/strong><\/p>\n<p dir=\"ltr\">One of the biggest advantages of Aluminum is its high strength and low weight, making it ideal for products that need to stay light but be able to handle a high load &#8211; the exact reason it is used for flight and automotive applications. \u00a0However, if you&#8217;re not planning on building a plane anytime soon, our Aluminum is perfect for:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Gadgets ( robotics, gears, desk toys, etc.)<\/li>\n<li>Drone parts (arm extensions, camera mounts, landing gears, etc.)<\/li>\n<li>Tools (bottle openers, multi-tools, custom jigs, etc.)<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>Those familiar with building robotics know that weight and weight distribution is extremely important, and Aluminum is a popular metal used to minimize the weight of a frame and platform for various designs. Similarly, those designing drone accessories want a material that can withstand a rocky landing, or even an unfortunate crash. Aluminum can help to absorb that impact and protect your drone and camera.\u00a0Its strength lends itself to being protective and is frequently used for casings for laptops, phones, sports equipment and more. And of course, it&#8217;s strong enough to open any bottle you might need!<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-medium wp-image-23361\" alt=\"blog-image-aluminum-launch-shark\" src=\"https:\/\/www.shapeways.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/01\/blog-image-aluminum-launch-shark-625x468.jpg\" width=\"625\" height=\"468\" data-wp-pid=\"23361\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.shapeways.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/01\/blog-image-aluminum-launch-shark-625x468.jpg 625w, https:\/\/www.shapeways.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/01\/blog-image-aluminum-launch-shark-360x270.jpg 360w, https:\/\/www.shapeways.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/01\/blog-image-aluminum-launch-shark-300x225.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.shapeways.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/01\/blog-image-aluminum-launch-shark.jpg 800w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 625px) 100vw, 625px\" \/><\/p>\n<p>(<a href=\"https:\/\/www.shapeways.com\/product\/URH5NYG2W\/shark-bottle-opener?li=search-results-1&amp;optionId=11456896\">Shark Bottle Opener<\/a> by <a href=\"https:\/\/www.shapeways.com\/shops\/andyzoer\">AndyZoer<\/a>)<\/p>\n<p><strong>How do I get started?<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Check out the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.shapeways.com\/materials\/aluminum?li=nav\">Aluminum material page<\/a> to hear our Materials Product Manager, Blair, tell you more about Aluminum and how it can work for you.
