Lightweight has optimal strength-to-weight ratio to meed the requirement with light weight. Utilizing the SLM 3D printed titanium alloy TC4 can not only reduce the overall weight of the product, achieve energy conservation and emission reduction, but also have both economic and environmental benefits. Because titanium alloys are relatively expensive, they are not suitable for traditional CNC machining processes, which will result in immense waste of material. 3D printed TC4 parts offer a great oppertunities for light-weight design in aerospace to cut down the whole investment.
TA1 is a titanium-based metal powder widely used in metal additive manufacturing . It is a commercially pure titanium (CP-Ti) grade consisting primarily of titanium and small amounts of other elements. TA1 titanium-based metal powder is a multifunctional material that has attracted attention due to its high purity, excellent mechanical properties and biocompatibility. In the field of biomedicine, due to its biocompatibility, TA1 is often used in the design and manufacturing of implanted parts in the body, such as lattice bones and bionic parts.
