Materials freedom in additive manufacturing is now available.


Elementum 3D now offers the freedom to select a specialized material composition and set optimal property levels for your component.

Increasing a product’s material performance is vital for its continued success. In some instances, introducing a new material is the only way to attain the needed properties for a new or existing product. In this regard, we support our customers’ needs by going beyond the ability to expand the additive manufacturing (AM) materials library. We offer them “Materials Freedom” — the freedom to customize AM materials and properties to benefit their unique need and the freedom to quickly introduce more efficient and effective products.

Materials freedom is obtained by combining our proven RAM technology with solid understanding of materials and how they interact, allowing for engineered material compositions and properties to meet our customers specific application requirements. We work in close collaboration to ensure that your customized material can be readily adopted in production by verifying the materials are comparable to or exceed existing process technologies.

Materials freedom not only benefits product performance, it helps boost sales, gain market share and increase brand loyalty. Equally, customized additive materials give customers a competitive advantage by differentiating their products from those of their competitors.

Our #1 goal is to provide customers with AM materials and property freedoms so they can successfully integrate their tailored materials with the powerful design freedoms of AM.

Elementum3D is on the cutting edge of high performing additive manufacturing gas-atomized powders.

Is "Materials Freedom" Right for You?

1. Do you have a strategic outcome you hope to achieve?

2. Do you know if material customization will significantly benefit your component?

3. Do you have a component(s) selected to customize?
