Aluminum alloys for PBF
Materials for Powder Bed Fusion
Processing aluminum alloys with Prima Additive's Powder Bed Fusion machines gives you the following benefits for your finished parts:
high thermal conductivity, high mechanical properties (strength and hardness), high electrical conductivity, good post-process finish, excellent resistance to corrosion and low density.
The main advantage of 3D printing aluminum is its lightweight.
Aluminum alloys that can be processed with Prima Additive machines:
- AlSi10Mg

Let's break down the barriers to entry for Additive Manufacturing!
Application support
You imagine it, we make it reality.
Metal additive manufacturing offers endless possibilities for companies like yours, but often when facing challenges such as implementing a new technology within your context, what you need is the right teammate. That teammate is us: we like to think of it as a partnership. We like to work close to our customers, sharing knowledge, ideas, dreams and, why not, fears.
Design support
Additive changes you.
The strength of additive manufacturing lies in being able to make parts with shapes that were previously unthinkable. For this reason, if you are approaching this technology for the first time, you will probably need to adjust the design of your components to make them more functional, lighter, and better performing.
Training in additive manufacturing processes
Additive manufacturing training courses for every level, up to advanced.
Our team of specialized engineers is always by your side. You have a unique opportunity to experience firsthand the performance of the technology with our metal 3d printing training program. Together, we can identify how to implement it quickly in your company in the most competitive way.
Qualification and certification
Quality additive manufacturing.
In addition to the need for dimensional accuracy and mechanical characteristics of finished parts, the need to certify parts to industry benchmark standards also frequently emerges.
