The use of metal has only accelerated in popularity, leading as one of the hottest <a href=\"https:\/\/www.shapeways.com\/business\/additive-manufacturing\">additive manufacturing (AM)<\/a> trends. And with good reason.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Backed up by benefits like unprecedented design freedom for industrial companies, and no added lead times in tooling or machining, metal materials like <a href=\"https:\/\/www.shapeways.com\/materials\/stainless-steel-17-4ph\">Stainless Steel 17-4 PH<\/a> now rule due to their sheer strength in comparison to countless other material choices currently available. Whether manufacturers are 3D printing prototypes which may span many iterations throughout product development\u2013or high-performance parts for critical applications\u2013metal 3D printing continues to draw the attention of industrialists for improved parts and production.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Unique Strength for Industrial Applications<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Whether Shapeways customers are on a mission to accentuate their existing, traditional offerings, or take 3D printing to a higher level, metal 3D printing with steel is undeniably faster and more powerful. Stainless Steel 17-4 PH is known foremost for toughness and corrosion resistance; however, along with offering the ability to create strong metal geometries, this metal allows for 3D printing of lightweight structures for critical components in applications like aerospace and automotive.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Like the technology of 3D printing itself, Stainless Steel 17-4 PH has evolved over several decades due to continued progress and optimization of sintered materials. This trend is only expected to grow, specifically for this metal material, but a wide range of others too. Stainless Steel 17-4 PH is also appealing due to its hardness and higher mechanical strength. It is magnetic too, which some Shapeways customers may find useful for specific applications or projects.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>This material is used for a wide range of products, to include:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\"><li>Fasteners<\/li><li>Jigs and fixtures<\/li><li>Machine tools<\/li><li>Parts for oil and gas applications<\/li><li>Pump components<\/li><li>Valving<\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1120\" height=\"747\" src=\"https:\/\/www.shapeways.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/09\/dm-stainless-steel-17-4-ph-connector-1-1120x747.jpg\" alt=\"dm-stainless-steel-17-4-ph-connector-1\" class=\"wp-image-41940\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.shapeways.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/09\/dm-stainless-steel-17-4-ph-connector-1-1120x747.jpg 1120w, https:\/\/www.shapeways.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/09\/dm-stainless-steel-17-4-ph-connector-1-840x560.jpg 840w, https:\/\/www.shapeways.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/09\/dm-stainless-steel-17-4-ph-connector-1-420x280.jpg 420w, https:\/\/www.shapeways.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/09\/dm-stainless-steel-17-4-ph-connector-1-768x512.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.shapeways.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/09\/dm-stainless-steel-17-4-ph-connector-1-1536x1024.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/www.shapeways.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/09\/dm-stainless-steel-17-4-ph-connector-1-2048x1365.jpg 2048w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1120px) 100vw, 1120px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Binder Jetting Technology<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Offering high speed 3D printing for large-volume applications, Binder Jetting relies on adhesive for saturating the build area, layer by layer, until a desired product is complete. The metal powder not adhered with the binder is recycled during the Binder Jetting process, to maximize efficiency. Allowing for greater sustainability in manufacturing\u2013and 3D printing specifically\u2013this technology results in reduced waste of materials, expanded latitude in design for industrial engineers, and more options in production, ultimately, due to the wide range of <a href=\"https:\/\/www.shapeways.com\/materials\">other metal choices<\/a> available too.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In partnership with Desktop Metal, Shapeways relies on Binder Jetting in a multi-step process, delivering industrial parts from a green part to a finished product. This 3D printing technology also allows for reduced assemblies, decreased production and turnaround time for projects, and less time spent in post-production. Due to the capability for printing with metal powders and alloys, this type of Binder Jetting manufactures prototypes and parts efficiently, offering the following benefits:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\"><li>Incredible speed in production boosts efficiency, and enhances customer satisfaction.<\/li><li>Metal parts are created with precision and repeatability, every single time.<\/li><li>Lack of support structures leads to freedom in design and protection of parts as the potential for damage in post-processing is eliminated.<\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Finishing<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>This material is offered in a Processed finish, with a semi-matte appearance and a rough surface.
