Advanced Technologies
We use state-of-the-art processes such as Direct Metal Laser Sintering (DMLS), Selective Laser Melting (SLM), Binder Jetting, and Metal Filament Printing to ensure precision and durability in every part.
Wide Range of Materials
Choose from a broad selection of metal materials tailored to your needs, including aluminum, titanium, stainless steel, bronze, brass, and silver.
Our ISO 9001-certified facility guarantees high-quality standards and rapid turnaround, with over 1,000 satisfied clients each year.
Fused Deposition Modeling (FDM), also known as Fused Filament Fabrication (FFF), is a widely used technology for metal additive manufacturing. This process extrudes a metal-polymer composite filament through a heated nozzle, depositing material layer by layer to form the desired part. After printing, the object undergoes debinding to remove the polymer, followed by sintering to densify the metal and achieve the required mechanical properties. At Sculpteo, we offer high-performance materials such as Ultrafuse® 316L and Ultrafuse® 17-4 PH for this technology.

SLM (Selective Laser Melting) and DMLS (Direct Metal Laser Sintering) are part of the Laser Powder Bed Fusion (L-PBF) family advanced metal additive manufacturing processes. Both techniques use a high-powered laser to selectively fuse layers of metal powder, building complex metal parts layer by layer. While the terms are often used interchangeably, the key difference lies in their approach: SLM fully melts the metal powder, whereas DMLS sinters it heating the particles until they bond, without complete melting. At Sculpteo, we use SLM technology to 3D print in 316L stainless steel, Titanium 6AI-4V, and Aluminum AlSi10Mg0.6 a lightweight alloy offering excellent mechanical strength and high-temperature resistance.

Binder Jetting is a metal 3D printing process where a binding agent is selectively deposited onto thin layers of metal powder, following the shape of a 3D model. Once printing is complete, the part is typically sintered or infiltrated to achieve the desired mechanical properties. Sculpteo offers binder jetting in 420SS/BR Steel-Bronze for decorative applications, and 316L stainless steel for technical parts.

Lost wax casting is a traditional metal foundry process used to create highly detailed and precise metal parts. A wax model of the final object is first created, then encased in a ceramic shell. After hardening, the wax is melted out, leaving a cavity that is filled with molten metal. Once solidified, the mold is broken to reveal the final metal part. At Sculpteo, this process is available in bronze, brass, and silver.

The aerospace industry greatly benefits from metal 3D printing technologies such as DMLS and SLM. These processes allow for the creation of lightweight, strong, and intricate components that improve aircraft performance and reduce fuel consumption.
At Sculpteo, we offer titanium 3D printing a material prized for its strength-to-weight ratio and corrosion resistance.
Companies like Airbus have used metal 3D printing to produce titanium engine mounts, reducing waste by 90% and part weight by 10%. Pratt & Whitney also utilizes 3D printing to manufacture titanium and nickel engine parts, reducing weight by 50% and accelerating production.
In the automotive sector, metal 3D printing is used to develop structural and mechanical parts that combine durability with lightweight performance.
Materials like 316L stainless steel and aluminum are perfect for components that must resist corrosion and high temperatures ideal for engines, exhaust systems, and body parts.
With Sculpteo’s online service, manufacturers can quickly produce custom prototypes or short-run production, optimizing cost and speeding up innovation.
Medical applications benefit significantly from metals like titanium and stainless steel, known for their biocompatibility and mechanical precision. These materials are used to manufacture orthopedic and dental implants as well as surgical tools.
Using DMLS, Sculpteo enables the production of patient-specific medical devices with exceptional accuracy, enhancing both personalization and quality of care.
Metal 3D printing is transforming the jewelry industry by offering unmatched design freedom.
Materials such as bronze, silver, and brass are used to create intricate, customizable pieces with high-end finishes like gold plating or rhodium coating.
Sculpteo combines 3D printing with lost wax casting to produce custom rings, bracelets, and pendants, reducing both costs and lead times compared to traditional methods.
