Booling’s aluminum 3D printing uses a variety of additive layer-by-layer advanced manufacturing processes, using lasers or electron beams to heat and melt aluminum alloy powder, and accurately controls the layer-by-layer stacking through CAD technology to provide manufacturers with 3D printing solutions for parts. As a lightweight metal material, aluminum 3D products can reduce the weight of products in aerospace, automotive manufacturing, electronics, and medical equipment, and help lightweight design in these industries. Booling uses advanced industrial-grade 3D printing equipment that can achieve millimeter-level aluminum 3D printing accuracy.
Traditional aluminum processing requires casting, cutting, welding, and other processes, which require higher costs and longer production cycles. Booling aluminum 3D printing technology uses 3D printers to achieve integrated molding without the need for molds and other tools, providing high-quality rapid prototyping services for automotive parts manufacturers in South Korea, Argentina, Brazil, Italy, Germany, Canada, and other countries.

Aluminum 3D Printing Material
Booling provides AlSi12, AlSi10Mg, and some high-strength aluminum alloy powders for aluminum 3D printing, which can replace traditional heavy metals for lightweight production. Because of the low density of aluminum alloy, it has good corrosion resistance and high strength, so this material is more often designed and used in high-performance parts in the automotive industry and aviation fields.

Guidelines for Aluminum 3D Printing
Booling provides customized aluminum 3D printing services and can communicate with engineers one-on-one to achieve precision crafting of every detail.
Aluminum 3D printing involves using metal materials to build three-dimensional objects layer by layer. The product is corrosion-resistant and has a wide range of uses. It is often used in model manufacturing in the mold manufacturing industry. Booling engineers have solved aluminum 3D printing problems from different countries such as Mexico, Russia, and the United States through customized solution designs.
Aluminum 3D Printing Technology
Booling provides mainstream aluminum 3D printing technologies on the market, such as powder bed fusion, directed energy deposition, and binder jetting.
- Powder bed fusion (PBF)
This is the most commonly used method in aluminum 3D printing, which selectively melts and fuses aluminum powder layers with the help of high-energy sources (such as lasers or electron beams). FBF technologies mainly include:
- Selective laser melting (SLM)
High-power lasers selectively melt aluminum powder particles in the powder bed, and build up the required parts layer by layer.
- Electron beam melting (EBM)
Using electron beams instead of lasers as energy sources, selectively melt aluminum powder particles in a vacuum environment to produce parts with excellent mechanical properties.
- Directed energy deposition (DED)
Engineers use a focused energy source to melt aluminum powder or aluminum wire, deposit it on the substrate, and build parts layer by layer. This technology is suitable for repairing existing components or adding new functions.
- Binder jetting
This is an additive manufacturing process that bonds aluminum powder layer by layer by spraying adhesives to form the required three-dimensional parts. Compared with PBF technology, this technology has a faster molding speed.
