In un’era di crisi mondiale, dove il futuro è incerto e la supply chain mostra le sue falle, la stampa 3D per acciaio ti lancia
Una domanda che mi viene posta spesso dagli imprenditori meccanici è questa: come usciranno i miei componenti dalla stampante 3D? Nello specifico, quello che probabilmente
Entire parts of the machine are built specifically for the handling and processing of hypo-electectoid steel powders (<0.77% C) because this material, in all its forms, is certainly the most widely used, most versatile and most readily available metal in the mechanical sector.
The choice of this specialization reflects the third point of the CorSystem method – Superfast 3D Printing for Mechanics, according to which the only way to economically justify a 3D printed production is to take advantage of a printer specialized in the use of a specific family of materials.
3D4STEEL is the first specialized PBF 3D printing system for non-reactive steel powders, tailored to the production needs of each customer. It guarantees the best speed of the production cycle and, at the same time, the highest mechanical quality of the manufactured components that it allows you to achieve:
Thanks to the patented powder distribution system specifically designed for steels, the 3D4STEEL printer achieves a GREATER production cycle speed than multi-material systems.
In addition, the patented automatic powder recovery system guarantees a sudden refilling of the main tank, allowing the machine to be immediately ready for a second use as soon as the first JOB is finished, thus eliminating any possible machine downtime. This process speed allows you to produce medium-small batches with great speed and savings compared to traditional methods in terms of:
your mechanical components thanks to the specialized steel system
management and supply of gas and materials for production
that you could never achieve with traditional production methods
your mechanical components only when you need them, without keeping them in stock and risking obsolescence
Choose your steel powder supplier yourself and save up to 78% on every purchase
Many people don’t know this, but manufacturers of multi-material, or generalist, additive systems often force their customers to source powders from them as well. According to Wohler’s Report, generalist 3D printer manufacturers impose strong constraints on the use of third-party powders and force the customer to source directly from them.
"There are many companies that produce materials for the additive (3D printing) industry. Some of these companies sell the powder directly to 3D printer manufacturers who subsequently brand and sell them to their customers [...] For many 3D printer manufacturers, the sale of powders is an important recurring source of revenue [...].
They (the 3D printer companies) often resort to physical, electronic, and/or software blocking to prevent the use of "unauthorized" third-party materials."

On the contrary, with 3D4STEEL you are completely free to source from whomever you choose. You won’t have to submit to any constraints.
Free yourself from any constraints on suppliers and printing parameters thanks to the OPEN POWDER system
OPEN POWDER allows you to freely choose the powder supplier you prefer, and gives you the possibility of being supplied directly by him without any intermediate step that would lead to an unjustified increase in price.
You can guarantee yourself a saving of up to 78% on the cost of steel powders and you will be able to choose freely from different steel powders.
To make it easier for you to choose the material best suited to your needs, we will provide you with all the recommended printing parameters for each type of powder tested, so that you can start producing the components you want right away and without difficulty.
Automatically recycles unused powder thanks to exclusive 3D4STEEL patent
Metal powder handling and management is a crucial aspect of 3D printing.
When a 3D PBF 3D printing process comes to an end, in addition to having the part printed, the print bed is full of unused powder that needs to be filtered and sieved to be recirculated. Usually this powder recycling procedure involves the use of a massive machine outside the 3D printer, and sometimes, all the collection of unsintered powder even has to be done by hand.
Having to move the printing plate from one machine to another greatly lengthens the time needed to have the part ready and results in risks for the operator and high production costs.
To speed up the production process we have patented a fully automated powder recycling system inside each 3D4STEEL printer.
Our powder recovery system allows you to automatically recover up to 99% of the steel powder that you have not used during the printing process; the powder automatically passes through a filter that sieves it to remove all traces of impurities, then it is automatically returned to the tank as if it were new powder never used, immediately ready for use.
