Tool Steel
3D Printing Tool Steel MS1, 1.2709, CX & CM55
Tool Steel Alloys for Industrial 3D Printing
Tool steel’s material characteristics make it ideal for a wide range of tooling applications across all industries.
The tool steel family of powders encompasses the MS1, 1.2709, CX and CM55 alloys. All powders are designed and tested for use on EOS metal systems.
EOS tool steel powders are shipped with an inspection certificate (according to EN 10204, Type 3.1) showing the results of the extensive QA testing. Only EOS ToolSteel CM55 is shipped with a material test report (according to EN 10204, Type 2.2) showing the results of the QA testing with regard to the chemical properties and particle size distribution.
EOS also offers a wide range of validated processes for each of the above materials. These offer the optimal combination of parameters (e.g. laser power, layer thickness, etc.) in order to ensure that the properties of the 3D printed part are consistently achieved.
