Hybrid CNC & 3D Metal Fabrication Services
Description
Bridging subtractive and additive manufacturing, our integrated service delivers precision metal components with complex geometries unachievable through conventional methods. Combining German DMG MORI 5-axis CNC centers with EOS M400-4 metal 3D printers, we enable functional prototypes to end-use production parts with exceptional mechanical properties and reduced lead times.
Hybrid Manufacturing Advantages:
• Topology Optimization: 3D print lightweight structures with internal channels + CNC finish critical interfaces
• Material Efficiency: Additive near-net-shape reduces CNC material waste by 40-70%
• Consolidated Assemblies: Convert multi-part assemblies into single 3D printed units with post-CNC machining
Advanced Material Processing:
-
Aerospace Alloys: Ti6Al4V ELI (Grade 23) with HIP treatment for 99.9% density
-
Medical Compliance: 316L stainless with biocompatible surface options
-
Thermal Management: Copper C18150 with conformal cooling channels
Technical Workflow:
-
Design Phase: DFAM (Design for Additive Manufacturing) analysis including support structure optimization
-
Build Process: Inert argon environment printing with real-time melt pool monitoring
-
Post-Processing: Stress relief heat treatment • CNC precision machining • Micro-bead blasting
-
Validation: CT scanning for internal defect detection • CMM for dimensional verification
Industry-Specific Solutions:
