Product catalog summary
Overview
HBD has developed an advanced ultra-thin-wall, high-precision, high-density forming process for 3D printing pure tungsten parts, suitable for vacuum environments. This process effectively removes impurities, enhancing the quality and application of tungsten parts.
LPBF Advantages
HBD has extensive experience in printing high-temperature refractory metals like tungsten. The process achieves a parts forming accuracy of ±0.02mm, with a density up to 99%. It supports wall thickness structures of 0.1-0.2 mm, with a minimum wall thickness of 0.08 mm.
Medical Radiography Applications
Compared to traditional grids, 2D tungsten anti-scatter grids offer improved X-ray absorption due to tungsten's higher density. The 3D printing technology allows for more flexible product design, enhancing X-ray introduction accuracy into photodiodes. Benefits include reduced X-ray scattering, excellent imaging quality, improved heat resistance, and simplified assembly processes.
Tungsten 3D Printing
Tungsten is a valuable material for 3D printing due to its heat resistance, especially in vacuum and high-voltage environments. LPBF technology enables the production of dense tungsten parts with high precision, applicable in medical radiation protection, nuclear imaging, and other fields. Potential applications include rocket engine nozzles, weapon heads, turbine blades, and more.

Tungsten Additive Manufacturing Medical Radiography Applications 3D Printing Anti-Scatter Grid with Pure Tungsten Powder Compared with traditional 2D molybdenum or 1D grids, 2D tungsten anti-scatter grids have significant advantages. On the one hand, the higher density of tungsten is beneficial to improve the absorption of X-ray scattering. On the other hand, the 3D printing technology of digital manufacturing mode makes the product structure design more free, which affects the more accurate introduction of X-rays into the photodiode. HBD has developed an ultra-thin-wall, high-precision, high-density forming process that can completely remove impurities in parts, making 3D printed pure tungsten parts successfully used in a vacuum environment. LPBF Advantages With full design freedom, it can realize the change of any dimensional structure; Adjust the shape of the beam to reduce X-ray scattering and ensure excellent imaging quality; Good heat resistance, can effectively shield radiation; Improve and simplify the assembly process, increase efficiency and reduce costs; High-quality inspection and grid design; Digital manufacturing accelerates the time to market of products. HBD has rich accumulation of process in the printing of high temperature refractory metal materials such as tungsten, and experience in 3D printing design solutions that are more suitable for application scenarios. Parts forming accuracy ±0.02mm; The density is up to 99%; Accurately realize different wall thickness structures of 0.1-0.2 mm; Minimum wall thickness: 0.08 mm-0.1mm.
