High-Performance Metal 3D Printing for Complex Parts

CRP Meccanica leverages Direct Metal Laser Sintering (DMLS) and precision CNC machining to produce lightweight, complex, and functionally optimized metal components. Our hybrid additive + subtractive approach ensures parts meet the highest precision and durability standards for demanding industries.

When is hybrid DMLS + CNC machining the best solution?

This approach is ideal when you need lightweight metal parts with complex internal geometries combined with tight tolerances and excellent surface finish. It works especially well for materials like Aluminum, Titanium, Inconel, or Stainless Steel where conventional machining alone may struggle. Using DMLS for structure + CNC for precision provides faster turnaround, reduced waste, and higher performance.

They trust CRP Meccanica

"We asked for lightweight titanium parts with tight tolerances and minimal deformation under stress. CRP Meccanica gave us a custom setup and got the job done faster than our internal projections. That put us on track - literally."

"We needed to validate a new component geometry for our electric powertrain in under five weeks. CRP Meccanica delivered perfectly machined aluminum prototypes that went straight into thermal and vibration testing - no adjustments needed."

"Our design called for intricate internal channels and ultra-thin walls in aerospace-grade aluminum. Other suppliers turned us down. CRP Meccanica handled it through hybrid CNC and additive processes - flawless integration, zero rework."

"We needed production-ready components with zero margin for error. CRP Meccanica’s machining quality, process control, and documentation met the exacting standards of our defense programs - no revisions, no delays."

"Our application required ultra-lightweight frames and camera gimbal housings with structural rigidity and low vibration transmission. CRP Meccanica met all specifications with hybrid CNC machining and offered key input to reduce mass without compromising performance."

"We needed structural components that could resist both mechanical loads and corrosion in extreme environments. CRP Meccanica supported us from material selection to final machining, delivering exactly what we needed without compromise."
