Material Note
SUS304 A kind of general stainless
SUS316 Stainless steel with improved corrosion resistance from SUS304
Maraging steel It is a material that achieves high strength and high toughness by adding Co, Mo, Ti, Al, etc. to 18% nickel steel.
Ti6Al4V (64 titanium) Lightweight, high strength and highly corrosion resistant, it is widely used in medical, chemical and aerospace fields, but its machinability is no so good. inferior.
Inconel 718 A nickel alloy that has good material properties even at high temperatures and is suitable for high-temperature applications such as gas turbines.
Stellite6 It is a material with high hardness and excellent wear resistance, which is mainly composed of cobalt. Only surface cladding is supported.

Materials not listed may be able to be processed, so please feel free to contact us.

・Additive manufacturing machines specifications for this service

Types of metal material size after sintering Description
Recommended size after sintering 50 mm cubic and minimum scale ordered is 0.1 mm.
Minimum size after sintering 1×1×3 mm
Maximum size after sintering due to the size of the machines' print box
Material Description
SUS316L Stainless steel with improved corrosion resistance from SUS304
Pure copper 99.9% pure copper powder material prepared for BJT method
17-4PH(SUS630) One of major precipitation hardening stainless steels, it has both corrosion resistance and high strength.
Ti6Al4V (64 titanium) Lightweight, high strength and highly corrosion resistant, it is widely used in medical, chemical and aerospace fields, but its machinability is no so good. inferior.
DM625 equivalent to Inconel 625 It is a Ni-based alloy that has both high-temperature strength and corrosion resistance, and is used for engine parts and gas turbines.
DM247 equivalent to Inconel 247 It is used for turbine blades, etc. because it has the highest high-temperature strength among Ni-based alloys.
DM D2 equivalent to JIS SKD11 It is a tool steel with excellent hardenability while having excellent wear resistance and appropriate toughness.

Samples

LAMDA's manufacturing samples

One of the largest titanium samples processed in additive manufacturing in Japan,with a height of 1,430 mm.
Different materials such as Inconel and stainless steel can be deposited on steel base material.
Complicated shapes such as Tokkuri, which is a bottle of Japanese sake, can be manufactured using 5-axis indexing.
Hollow gear-shaped sample

DM P2500 manufacturing samples

Integrated modeling of multiple parts Ring and whistle cores can be modeled at once, no assembly required.
Complex shape modeling 5-axis machining is not needed and it leads to lead time shorten.
Hollow bolts & nuts Improved design and reduced weight are possible.
Free shape parts
A shape that goes beyond the conventional design concept is possible
