SLM 280 HIPed Ti64 Build Plate | SLM 280 HIPed Ti64 Build Platform
The SLM 280 HIPed Ti64 Build Platform is manufactured via powder metallurgy and hot isostatic pressing (HIP) to deliver a fully dense, fine-grain titanium structure compliant with AMS 4994A. Designed for critical LPBF production, this HIPed titanium build plate for SLM 280 ensures superior thermal stability, minimal warping, and exceptional precision for aerospace, medical, and industrial applications.
What your process engineer actually checks
Flat, stable, and ready for production
Every build plate is manufactured from certified material, precision-machined, and inspected before shipment. Critical dimensions, flatness, thickness, and mounting features are verified to ensure reliable installation and repeatable print results.
Machine-ready compatibility
Build plates are available for EOS, Renishaw, SLM Solutions, Nikon, Trumpf, Additive Industries, and other metal AM platforms. Need a custom mounting pattern or proprietary format? We can manufacture to your drawing.
The SLM 280 HIPed Ti64 Build Platform is engineered for high-performance titanium additive manufacturing. Produced using hot isostatic pressing (HIP), this build plate achieves 100% density and a refined microstructure, eliminating internal porosity and minimizing distortion during LPBF processing.
Unlike conventional machined plates, the HIPed titanium build plate for SLM 280 offers improved homogeneity and uniform mechanical properties throughout its thickness. This significantly enhances fatigue resistance and dimensional stability, particularly during long or thermally intensive builds.
The SLM 280 HIPed Ti64 Build Platform performs as an efficient heat sink, reducing thermal gradients, residual stress, and cracking in complex Ti-6Al-4V geometries. With no alpha-case inclusions or surface films, it ensures consistent metallurgical behavior across the entire printing surface.
Manufactured in California, USA, and compliant with AMS 4994A, this platform is ideal for aerospace-certified, medical-grade, and high-value industrial titanium production.
KEY FEATURES & BENEFITS
- HIPed Powder Metallurgy Construction
The SLM280 HIPed Ti-6Al-4V build plate is consolidated under high temperature and isostatic pressure, eliminating porosity and producing a fully dense microstructure.

Hot isostatic pressing (HIP)
Hot isostatic pressing (HIP) is a materials fabrication process in which a starting powder or a remolded shape is simultaneously subjected to both high temperatures and high isostatic pressures, using a gas transfer medium.
This technique has developed from an invention conceived before the 1960s, used initially for the primary purpose of fabricating clad nuclear fuel elements and referred to as “gas pressure bonding”.
Today, it is employed for a broad range of metallic and nonmetallic materials. The three most common industrial applications are post densification of cemented carbides, sintering of specialty steels and the healing of super alloy and titanium castings.
