  • Key benefits of using NoSupports

  • Eliminating supports in direct metal printing (DMP) improves part production efficiency without compromising on part quality.

  • Reduce Costs Icon

    Reduce Time and Costs

    Eliminating supports accelerates part production and delivery. Reduce the cost of labor and minimize material waste. Less supports means less scrap and post-processing which expediting build times.

  • Speed up production icon

    Improve Repeatability

    NoSupports strategies improve dimensional repeatability and surface homogeneity while empowering expanded design freedom and advanced print capabilities such as nesting.

  • Lock Icon

    Unlock New Applications

    Discover new possibilities such as complex geometries, and enclosed channels not previously possible. Less supports means quicker builds and faster turnaround on design iterations. 

  • Reduce Post Processing Icon

    Expedite Post-Processing

    If no supports are used, you eliminate the need for their removal during post-processing, significantly reducing the time to delivery.
     

Real-World NoSupports Applications

  • Acetabular Cups

    NoSupports build strategies make acetabular cup production even more cost-effective by using a supportless stacking configuration. This approach saves time, reduces labor cost and minimizes material waste, while improving dimensional repeatability.

  • Turbo Pump Casing

    The turbo pump casing with a diameter of 455 mm was printed seamless in 75 hours on the DMP Factory 500. This cost-competitive solution was achieved by combining the high-productivity Ni718 parameters with 3D Systems NoSupports build strategies.
