Higher layer thickness means fewer layers per part, and fewer layers mean faster printing. That is why we offer ready-to-use parameter sets for 30 µm, 60 µm and 90 µm on our MPRINTpro, so you can choose between speed and detail for every part.
Up to 85 % less build time
A build time comparison for suppressor parts on the PROline shows what the step from 30 µm to 90 µm means in practice:
- Small suppressor (150 mm): 111.6 h at 30 µm, 17.0 h at 90 µm. That is 85 % less build time.
- Large suppressor (195 mm): 138.8 h at 30 µm, 24.6 h at 90 µm. That is 82 % less build time.
In the same time, you can produce more parts with 60 and 90 µm.
Thin layers for detail, thick layers for speed
Thin layers give you more detail, and 30 µm stays the choice for fine surfaces. Thick layers give you a faster build. It is always up to your part requirements, and you decide per application.
No parameter trials
You do not have to find the right settings yourself. We provide ready-to-use parameter sets for industrial materials and for dental. Browse through our materials here.
A drill head printed at 90 µm
This drill head was printed on our MPRINTpro at 90 µm. The material is Nickel Alloy 2.4668, also known as Alloy 718.
See the drill head live at Formnext 2026
Formnext takes place in Frankfurt from November 17 to 20. Visit One Click Metal at booth C101 in hall 12.0 to see the printed drill head live and talk about the possibilities of metal 3D printing.
