Metal Powder FastForm CX 15–53 Microns, 5 kg

Optimise your industrial component production with FastForm CX Metal Powder, 5 kg — a solution engineered to deliver exceptional mechanical properties and superior surface integrity. This specialist nickel-based alloy has been specifically formulated for high-performance laser sintering, ensuring consistent flowability and uniform fusion that eliminates clogging issues within the recoater system.

Advanced Metallurgy for Precision Additive Manufacturing

The effectiveness of SLM (Selective Laser Melting) technology depends directly on the quality of the base material. FastForm CX Metal Powder, 5 kg features a strictly controlled particle size distribution of 15–53 µm. This optimised range is essential for achieving the perfect balance between high packing density and excellent flowability. Unlike generic powders that tend to agglomerate, this formulation prevents clump formation and reduces porosity — enabling fine resolution across even the most complex geometries.

Optimised for Nitrogen Atmospheres

Significantly reduce the operational costs of your 3D production. One of the key advantages of the CX series is its chemical stability in a Nitrogen (N2) atmosphere. Whilst many nickel superalloys require the use of Argon — a considerably more expensive gas — to prevent oxidation, FastForm CX material is designed to perform reliably with Nitrogen, dramatically reducing the cost per part for both functional prototypes and end-use production.

Versatility and Industrial Performance

From conformal cooling channels in moulds to heat-resistant aerospace components, this nickel alloy delivers unmatched robustness. Its excellent flowability minimises the risk of insufficient feed during long print runs, ensuring that a 50-hour build cycle finishes with the same precision with which it began. For optimal results, use with a stainless steel build plate — guaranteeing firm adhesion and straightforward post-processing removal.
