m4p (metals for printing) is one of the few, if not the only, metal powders company with a 100% focus on AM. Being solely focused on metal AM gives us certain USPs – a wide product range, short lead times (normally 1-2 weeks from PO), chemistry and powder PSDs controlled within a very narrow range (for consistent performance and reliability of AM produced components).
The company offers a wide range of products some of which we have specially designed / optimized for use in AM (L-PBF, E-PBF, DED, Metal Binder Jetting and Cold Spray). In addition to the commodities widely used on the market, such as stainless steel m4p™ 316l, tool steel m4p™ Fe-2709, universal alloy m4p™ AlSi10Mg, or the high-performance material m4p™ Ti64 grade23, some powders could be of particular interest. For example, m4p™ StrengthAl (Al-Mg-Sc alloy reaching 470 MPa in strength, anodizable and a direct-ageing heat treatment), m4p™ Cu-Cop42 (GRCop-42), m4p™ CXplus (stainless and well polishable maraging steel), m4p™ type13-X (equivalent to ASTM CA6NM), m4p™ type10-SDX and m4p™ type62-DX (a super-duplex steel and a duplex steel, respectively) and many more. What is even more interesting is we can support them with starting process parameters and heat treatment for most of the products we offer.
