Tungsten for 3D Printing & Additive Manufacturing: High-Density Powder and Printed Components
Tungsten AM Powder and Printed Components
Tungsten's unique density and heat resistance deliver exceptional performance for additive manufacturing and printed component applications:
- Unmatched Density for Compact Shielding: At 19.3 g/cc, tungsten provides superior radiation attenuation in smaller geometries than any lead or composite alternative - enabling compact medical collimators, radiation shielding inserts, and imaging components achievable only through additive manufacturing.
- Extreme Heat Resistance for Tooling: Tungsten melting point of 3,422 degrees C makes it the preferred material for high-temperature AM tooling, die inserts, and heat-resistant components where polymer and aluminum AM parts cannot survive the thermal load.
- Precision Radiation Shielding Geometries: Additive manufacturing enables complex internal shielding geometries - lattices, channels, and graded density structures - that conventional machining cannot produce, with TPW powder and printed WHA providing the attenuation performance.
- American-Made Tungsten Powder Supply: TPW supplies domestic tungsten powder for AM workflows and produces finished printed WHA components to customer drawings - supporting supply chain requirements for medical, defense, and industrial AM programs with U.S.-origin material.
