Metal 3D printing commonly uses stainless steels (316L, 17-4PH), tool steels (H13, maraging), titanium alloys (Ti-6Al-4V), aluminum alloys (AlSi10Mg, Scalmalloy), nickel-based superalloys (Inconel 718/625), cobalt–chrome, and even precious metals. The final choice depends on the AM process and application requirements.
