Materials

Metal fabrication has always meant six figure machines, specialist teams and long lead times. SMFG changes that with a set of ready to use materials, guided software and an intelligent finishing unit that make real metal parts affordable and accessible.

Each material runs on the printer you already own and finishes in house. Pick the one that fits your application and we handle the rest.
