An air intake that my company 3D printed for a customer from PPS-CF. It is roughly 350mm (14") long and a little under 600g. I absolutely love the look of PPS-CF after annealing, the surface finish is absolutely gorgeous.

This plastic is an engineering material that is able to handle over 200C (400F) temperatures without softening and has excellent strength. We regularly print intake manifolds, brackets, covers, and various other parts out of this stuff for a few racing teams and car enthusiasts.

A stainless steel broach that my company 3D printed, this was one of the most challenging parts to remove supports from that I have ever worked on.

The surface finish is raw as-printed in these pics, but we will be tumbling and polishing it in the next few days. If there is interest, I can share more pictures as the process goes on.

A bit different than a lot of the metal parts here, but this is a heat exchanger that my company 3D printed for a Formula Student team recently. This was printed on one of our LPBF machines in Alsi10Mg, and uses a spiral outer loop to circulate oil and a central channel for coolant. This specific heat exchanger sees relatively low thermal loads, so the large central channel is designed to transfer just enough heat without adding unnecessary flow restriction to the rest of the coolant loop.

The fittings are all npt, and were trimmed to final size with a tap after printing. The thread profile was roughed in during printing so that we could limit cutting forces on the thin aluminum after printing so that the part would not get damaged.

Happy to answer any questions that I can about the printing process or (what I am allowed to) about the part design itself.

I wanted to share a ring that my company 3D printed on one of our metal 3D printers a few months ago in grade 5 titanium. The outside surface was brushed and bead blasted to preserve some of the 3D printed appearance, while the inside was machined and polished to be comfortable to wear.

We rarely work with jewelry, but it is interesting when we get unique requests like this that require us to learn new things!

A fun little turbine blade model that I 3D printed on one of my companies LPBF 3D printers. This part isn't actually going to be used in a turbine, it is a test part to see what the internal surface Ra and achievable density/creep resistance can be achieved with different process parameters. I now also have a few fun inconel turbine blades to show people at trade shows!

The part is specifically 3D printed in 20 micron Inconel 718 powder, before being post processed with some light glas bead blasting to remove any excess powder from the surface.
