Additive Manufacturing Services
At FreeFORM, we want to give you the autonomy to design freely. Bring your designs to life with our technologically aggressive manufacturing, best-in-the-industry equipment, and unparalleled customer service.
Metal Additive Manufacturing
Metal Binder Jet 3D Printing
As one of the first service bureaus in metal binder jet additive manufacturing, we are investing in the factory of the future. A fast-paced area of development, metal binder jet combines the speed and cost-efficiency of 3D printing with high temperature sintering to form parts with near full dense microstructures.
Materials: 17-4PH, 304L, 316L, M2 Tool Steel, Inconel 718
FreeFORM continues to qualify materials internally, as well as for customer specific applications. Submit a request today to discuss your material development project!
Metal Injection Molding
Metal injection molding (MIM) combines the historical technologies of powder metallurgy and plastic injection molding to manufacture complex metal parts in a wide offering of materials and volumes. Most parts are small – less than 100 grams and fit in your hand – complex, and in medium-to-high annual volumes. This technology allows you to get the right balance of cost, material performance, and part complexity for your application.
Materials: Wide range of materials available. Feedstock can be formulated to match nearly any material used in another manufacturing technology.
Stereolithography (SLA)
Resin 3D Printing
The original 3D printing technology, SLA stacks and dries thin layers of liquid resin, allowing for accuracy with even the most detailed parts. Using galvos to rapidly aim lasers across the print area to cure and solidify resin layer by layer, SLA is extremely accurate with a wide range of materials available.
Part Size - Min to Max: 335mm x 200mm x 300mm
Fused Filament Fabrication (FFF)
Metal & Plastic 3D Printing
Fused Filament Fabrication (FFF) uses filaments of thermoplastic or metal materials, pushing it through a heated nozzle and melting the thermoplastic in the process. The print nozzle deposits the material on a build platform in a predetermined path, where the material cools to form a solid part. With thermoplastic materials, the print can be complete at this point, removing supports; with metal filaments, the parts will need a debind and sintering process. A wide array of materials are available to build products that can stand up to high temperatures, pressure, chemical exposure, and other product requirements.
