Product Description

Titanium Alloy Printing Base Plate ASTM B348 / UNS R56400 – Lightweight and Stable

The Titanium Alloy Printing Base Plate made under ASTM B348 and UNS R56400 standards primarily consists of Ti-6Al-4V, one of the most recognized titanium alloys for its outstanding mechanical properties and corrosion resistance. The alloy combines 6% aluminum and 4% vanadium to achieve the perfect balance between strength, ductility, and thermal conductivity. Its low density makes it an ideal material for high-performance 3D printing platforms, where strength-to-weight ratio and thermal stability are crucial for consistent builds.

Titanium Alloy Substrate for 3D Printing – High Strength and Corrosion Resistance Base Plate

Applications

Titanium Alloy Printing Base Plates are widely used in metal additive manufacturing, specifically for Selective Laser Melting (SLM) and Direct Metal Laser Sintering (DMLS) systems. These substrates serve as the foundation for printing parts in aerospace, medical, automotive, and defense industries—where precision, mechanical integrity, and stability are non-negotiable. In aerospace, they enable the production of lightweight structural parts. In the medical sector, their biocompatibility supports the creation of implants and surgical tools.

Industry Trends

The shift toward high-performance materials in additive manufacturing is accelerating. With growing demand for lightweight yet durable components, titanium alloys have become the benchmark for modern metal 3D printing. Industry trends indicate a steady rise in the use of Ti-6Al-4V substrates, particularly due to the growing adoption of SLM and DMLS systems in industrial production. As 3D printing scales from prototyping to full production, reliable base plates like those from DLX have become critical for repeatable, high-quality results.

Titanium alloys have always stood at the intersection of performance and innovation, and nowhere is this more evident than in metal 3D printing. At DLX, we've been continuously refining our approach to manufacturing titanium alloy printing base plates that meet the rigorous demands of the additive manufacturing world. Our ASTM B348 / UNS R56400 titanium base plates are not just components—they are the foundation of high-precision printing.

These plates are engineered for SLM (Selective Laser Melting) and DMLS (Direct Metal Laser Sintering) systems, where extreme temperatures, rapid heating and cooling, and high stress are the norm. Titanium's low density (4.43 g/cm³) and exceptional strength make it ideal for these conditions, allowing for accurate builds with minimal thermal deformation. The balance between weight and rigidity is essential when your printing process relies on micron-level precision.

Frequently Asked Questions

1. What is the main advantage of using a titanium alloy base plate in 3D printing?

Titanium alloy base plates offer a superior strength-to-weight ratio, high corrosion resistance, and excellent stability during laser melting, making them ideal for consistent, distortion-free builds.

2. What is ASTM B348 / UNS R56400?

ASTM B348 is a global standard specifying titanium and titanium alloy bars, billets, and forgings. UNS R56400 corresponds to Ti-6Al-4V alloy, ensuring mechanical reliability and consistency for industrial-grade printing substrates.

3. Can titanium base plates be reused for multiple printing cycles?

Yes. Due to their high fatigue strength and resistance to warping, DLX titanium base plates can be reused multiple times with proper surface preparation between builds.

4. How does titanium compare to aluminum for 3D printing substrates?

Titanium has higher strength, stability, and temperature resistance, while aluminum is lighter but more prone to warping under high laser power or extended print times.

5. Are titanium substrates suitable for all types of 3D printers?

They are best suited for metal additive manufacturing systems like SLM and DMLS. DLX can customize dimensions, flatness, and surface treatments to match various printer brands and models.

6. How does titanium's low thermal conductivity affect printing?

While it has lower thermal conductivity than aluminum, titanium's stability minimizes thermal distortion, leading to higher accuracy in printed parts—especially for complex geometries.

7. What surface finish is used on DLX titanium base plates?

DLX offers precision surface grinding and optional polishing to ensure exceptional flatness, typically under 0.01 mm tolerance, improving print adhesion and layer consistency.

8. Why choose DLX titanium substrates over other materials?

Because DLX combines advanced manufacturing control, precision machining, and alloy consistency to produce titanium substrates that outperform in dimensional accuracy and longevity.
