About Cadential Fabricators
A boutique job-shop manufacturing customer parts in Ti64
Full-service Additive Manufacturing job shop providing design, prototyping and production manufacturing services for titanium alloy (Ti6Al4V or Ti64) parts.
We use state-of-the-art electron-beam melting (EBM) to 3D print Ti64 by powder bed fusion (PBF). We operate GE/Colibrium Additive EBM-PBF machines with a maximum part dimension of 15" (380mm).
Manufacturing Solutions

We offer complimentary DfAM services and consulting. Let us help you decide if Ti64 and EBM-PBF are the right fit for your parts.
3D Printed Titanium Alloy
Design for Additive Manufacturing (DfAM)
We specialize in manufacturing Ti6Al4V (Ti64) by electron beam melting powder bed fusion (EBM-PBF). We do one thing, exceptionally well!
Finish Machining
To complement the state-of-the-art EBM-PBF tool, a full suite of conventional (CNC) machining tools and processes are available for finish work including drilling, tapping, boring, etc.
Thermal Post-Processing
We offer standard heat treatments for Ti64 Class A, B, D, E & F parts. Custom thermal processing available on request.
Surface Treatment
Ti64 is chemically and biologically inert so many applications don't require surface treatment. For the rest, we offer media blasting, electro-polishing, acid pickling, and anodization processes to achieve desired surface roughness and/or color.
Rapid Prototyping & Contract Manufacturing
We offer rapid prototyping services with fast turnaround as well as contract manufacturing delivering precision parts on schedule.
Generatively Designed Structural Bracket

Generative Design
We helped the customer redesign a structural bracket for additive manufacturing and optimize the strength-per-weight while maintaining target safety factors for the load condition. Colormap shows displacement under load. The result was a superior part than they could machine and weld by conventional methods.

Inspection
We conduct hi-resolution optical scanning for GD&T to ensure part dimensions conform the the CAD specifications and tolerances. Colormap shows measured part deviation from CAD model is a fraction of a millimeter across this 200mm tall part. Green areas are within a 100 micron tolerance.
Ultralight Pistol Suppressor

Collaborative Design
We worked with a suppressor manufacturer to taylor their design for EBM printing. After a couple rounds of plastic printing (shown), Ti64 printing and design modification, the customer was satisfied with the final Ti64 parts.

This photo shows the suppressor installed on a 9mm Ruger RXM. The prototypes are under customer testing prior to low-rate initial production.
Just 4 Fun!
We picked our favorite articulated dragon and printed it in Ti64. Finally, one the kids won't break!
