- Categories : Industrial 3D Printing

How are metal powders changing the 3D industry?

In recent years, metal 3D printing has evolved spectacularly thanks to SLM (Selective Laser Melting) technology. The key to success lies in premium-quality SLM metal powders.

At Motmould, we provide specialists with advanced alloys for strong, complex, and high-performance parts.

What are SLM metal powders?

SLM metal powders are produced through atomization, featuring fine, spherical particles with sizes between 15–45 µm. This shape ensures uniform flow and complete fusion during printing.

Technical properties of SLM metal powders

  • Controlled particle size distribution – for stability and precision.

  • High purity – reducing porosity and defects.

  • Various alloys – aluminum, titanium, stainless steel, nickel – each with specific advantages.

  • Compatibility with industrial printers – stable parameters for optimal results.

Advantages of using SLM metal powders

Unlimited complexity – internal channels, lattice structures, thin walls.
Fast production – prototypes and final parts without molds.
Superior mechanical performance – high strength, high density, strict tolerances.

Industrial applications of SLM metal powders

  • Aerospace – components with integrated cooling channels.

  • Medical – customized implants and bioactive structures.

  • Automotive and energy – molding tools with conformal cooling, rapid test parts.

The future is built layer by layer

SLM metal powders are the foundation of producing innovative parts – strong, precise, and complex.
At Motmould, we provide access to premium materials and consulting for successful industrial projects.
