Price Explanation
1. Calculation Basis: Price = Material Density (g/cm³) × Powder Price (USD/g) × (1.5-2.5)
- Aluminum alloy density: 2.7g/cm³
- Stainless steel density: 7.98g/cm³
- Titanium alloy density: 4.51g/cm³
- Cobalt-chromium alloy density: 8.3g/cm³
- The coefficient (1.5-2.5) includes processing fees, equipment depreciation, post-processing costs, etc.
2. Factors Affecting Prices:
- Technology Route: SLM (Selektiv lasersmältning) is the most expensive, followed by EBM (Elektronstrålesmältning); Binder Jetting is relatively cheaper.
- Part Complexity: The more complex the structure, the more support materials are required, resulting in higher prices.
- Batch Size: Mass production can reduce costs by 30-50%.
- Efterbearbetning: Putsning, värmebehandling, and surface treatment can increase costs by 20-50%.
Market Trends
- Prices of aluminum alloys and stainless steel have dropped significantly in recent years, with promotional prices from some manufacturers as low as 0.14-0.43 USD per gram.
- Titanium alloy prices have decreased by approximately 50%, and China domestic materials have fallen to 0.11-0.21 USD per gram.
- New technologies (till exempel, area printing) are expected to reduce metal 3D printing costs by 2026.
Notera: The price data is the average market price in February 2026, and there may be a 20-50% variation among different service providers and regions.
