# Characterization of Metal Parts Produced by 3D Printing

## Industrial companies in every sector, you want to characterize your metal parts produced by 3D printing

### What Is 3D Printing?

3D printing, also known as additive manufacturing, is a manufacturing process with many advantages.

Indeed, 3D printing now benefits from a high level of maturity, enabling unparalleled design freedom. As a result, 3D printing is a process used in various highly demanding sectors such as medical, aerospace and space.

### Why Characterize Your Metal Parts Produced by 3D Printing?

Metal parts manufactured by 3D printing depend on many factors, including:

- the quality of the powders used
- particle size and shape
- chemical composition, etc…

Thus, characterizing parts produced by 3D printing makes it possible to better understand the material and therefore optimize it. In addition, characterizing your parts is an essential step in the failure analysis of your 3D-printed materials.

As such, support from a laboratory specialized in analyses specific to 3D printing and additive manufacturing is a major asset in optimizing your materials.
