Material-Details: Tool steel 1.2709 Datasheet

 

Tool steel 1.2709 is manufactured in DLM process. This means that the component is clean, free of voids or inclusions and 99.8% solid.
The properties of this material can be compared with those of a machined component.
Parts that are produced in this process are often more expensive than milled components. However, completely new opportunities arise through the tool-less production. Thus, it is for example possible to produce injection molding inserts with close contour cooling. Through the powder process, almost no insulators are required. Thus, even "not producible" forms such as for example "ball ball" are possible.
In industry, these parts are very often used to produce complex parts which during milling very often have to be re-clamped either or are not produced.
Some aircraft from Airbus and rockets of NASA are already flying with serially produced 3D printing parts from 1.2709 or 1.4404.

Price calculation

Unfortunately DLM parts can only be calculated manually .


Typical usage

1.2709 is used mostly in the tool manufacturing for e.g. punching, bending, or injection moulding tools. Printed in DLM component is used mostly supportive to machining techniques in which E.g. inserts using 3D printing are manufactured and screwed with a conventional component.


Technology

1.2709 is produced in the DLM process.DLM means direct laser melting and referred to it directly by melting metal powder to a component.
There will be no further processing steps unless the separation of the pressure required Platform.
The material is subjected to resolve tensions after printing a heat treatment.

The procedure:

Your model is broken down into layers on the computer and sent to the machine.
Now, a printing bed with exactly this thickness is filled with metal powder. A very strong laser now merges the powder at the locations where your part is to be built.
This occurs under a protected atmosphere of argon or nitrogen.
This process is repeated until your component manufactured.
The remaining powder is sucked out and your part manuelly cut from the base plate.
When "Finish" your part is in a heat treatment furnace to anneal it.

Additionnal information

  • On demand , existing metal can also be "printed". Thus, solid related extensions are possible.
    This requires a is a newly polished surface.

The surface of your model is determined by the technology and the chosen material. Therefore, we offer several post-processing steps. This affects the cost but also the quality of your model.


Painted models

Painted 3D printing

 

Of course, you can also paint 3D models from tool steel.
Here, the quality and RAL color can be selected. The basic version of the painting is a simple "spray paint"..
This means that is your part lightly sanded and then painted. Construction stages and the similar are still easily recognizable..
The highest quality is the quality in premium (car paint). This "Polishing" must be booked with. This "Polishing" must be booked with.
Your part is sanded, polished, filled, wet sanded and painted.

  • need a minimum dimension of 10 x 10 x 10 mm.
  • Price: 30% of the part price for base coating. For additional premium reservation polishing service.
  • In painting 2 Working days must be set extra(included).

 

 

Coating

 

Coating 3D Druck

 

Tool steel Parts can be coated also wonderful.
To do this, your model is sanded and then coated with your requested material. Here also a coating with as gold or silver is possible.

  • We can coat only parts of 10 x 10 x 10 mm to 600 x 600 x 600 mm. Larger parts on demand..
