LaserForm Maraging Steel-B 3D Parts Service
Material Overview
LaserForm Maraging Steel (B) 3D printing material delivers high part quality and consistent part properties. With properties like 1.2709, this steel is easily heat-treatable in a simple age-hardening process resulting in excellent hardness, strength and good wear resistance. In regards to post-processing, the material shows good weldability and machinability.
Common Applications
LaserForm Maraging Steel (B) is ideal for innovative tool and mold designs including conformal cooling channels for injection molding, die casting and extrusion. The material is also used for high-performance aerospace, automotive and other industrial applications which require high strength and wear resistance.

What is the 3D printing process for this material?
Direct Metal Laser Sintering (DMLS) is an additive manufacturing technology that builds high quality complex metal parts from 3D CAD data. In the machine, a high precision laser is directed to metal powder particles to selectively build up thin horizontal metal layers one after the other. This cutting edge technology allows for the production of metal parts with challenging geometries, not possible using traditional subtractive or casting technologies. A variety of functional metals are available to print designs, from prototypes to production series of up to 20,000 units.
Will there be support scarring on this part?
Direct Metal Laser Sintering does require the use of support material. The support structure is made of the same metal material as the part material and will leave support scarring, that can be post processed to provide a smooth surfact finish.
How long will it take before I receive my part in this material?
Production times vary depending on machine availability, but generally LaserForm Maraging Steel-B 3D parts are printed and shipped within one to two weeks.
What is the minimum recommended feature size for this 3D printing technology?
The minimum recommended feature size is 0.010"
