In most industries, especially those battling harsh environments, wear resistance is crucial for productivity. We've been perfecting cemented carbide since 1932, leveraging 160 years of materials expertise to develop a patented process that allows us to 3D print cemented carbide components tailored to your every need – breaking free from design restrictions.

Imagine reduced lead times, optimized performance, and components lasting up to 20 times longer compared to any other steel or metal alloy. When profound metallurgical knowledge meets cutting-edge technology, major innovations happen. And when durable designs are key to productivity… the right partner is everything.

Cemented carbide

Sandvik introduces 3D printed cemented carbide

Sandvik introduces 3D-printed cemented carbide which has superior wear resistance. This is enabled by a unique powder, crafted through a patented process.

Customer case: Optimized nozzles in cemented carbide

Varel nozzles are subject to harsh conditions and constant wear and tear. This calls for hard materials and excellent wear resistance. Cue 3D-printed cemented carbide.

A look at cemented carbide in additive manufacturing

We let Anders Ohlsson, Lead Product Manager at Sandvik Additive Manufacturing, get down to the nitty-gritty of 3D-printed cemented carbide to explore its potential.

Application areas for 3D printed cemented carbide

Cemented carbide is a material with excellent wear resistance that lasts up to 20 times longer than any steel or metal alloy – making it suitable for a range of applications.

Just imagine

Our journey with additive manufacturing started 160 years ago – we just didn’t know it then. AM enables things that would otherwise be impossible.
