Welding Wires 3D print Large Parts
MX3D’s Tech is based on welding science. We work with a wide range of weldable metals and alloys. This ranges from stainless steels, duplex, Inconel, to aluminum, bronze, and corten alloys. In short, most weldable materials can be processed with our WAAM technology. Below is a list of commonly used materials. If you would like to inquire about other materials, please reach out to us.

Benefits of Wire
Most materials supplied as a wire for arc welding are compatible with WAAM. This gives WAAM access to one of the broadest ranges of materials for metal AM on the market. Moreover, compared to metal powders, weldable wires are more affordable, accessible, and available worldwide in general.
Within MetalXL, you are in the lead regarding material development and are able to build new strategies for your specialty wire and expand on existing ones when your standard or geometry requires this.

Certifications & Industry Standards
Value Adding Standards
Our range of certifications and industry standards is continuously expanding. We have been successfully audited for the Lloyds AM facility Certification, API20S by Fieldnode, ISO9001 by DNV, and actively pursue new qualifications. As new applications demand specific qualifications, we ensure our technology is compatible & compliant and our QMS stays up to date. This way, MX3D ensures that every new partnership, system, and production challenge can meet the right standard. Our team of IWE, international welding engineers, is ready to help you qualify your project.
