Help needed for a bending form

#1

Hey there,

I want to order a 3D print, but I am not sure which material is the best one to use for it. Maybe someone can help me, or give some advise. The parts I am ordering are bending forms, used to bend little plates of Beryllium Copper (CuBe2, Material No.: EN R580 or DIN 2.1247.55). These plates have a diameter of 7.30 mm and a thickness of 0.15 mm. The former bending form was made out of Brass, but I want to use a harder material for these new parts. Can someone tell me which one is the hardest material offered by i.materialise, or which one is most unlikely to get destroyed or scratched by the CuBe2 plates. These plates are quite thin, formable, but I still want to use the hardest material possible for the bending forms.
Thanks in advance,

Christoph Gaulke

the folling picutre shows one of the parts, so you have an idea of the dimensions:

Dear Christoph,

Thank you for your interest in our company. I just have read your questions. Because they are very technical, I believe it is better to contact another department within Materialise, ‘OnSite’. Hereby I give you the link to their website: http://www.materialise.com/en/manufacturing/materialise-onsite.

i.materialise is mainly focused on private individuals, small companies and little projects. OnSite focuses on big(ger) companies and projects.

The strongest and hardest metal i.materialise can offer you is Titanium.

Hopefully you have now enough information with this.

Have a nice day.
