Tool Steel
Tool Steel – High-Hardness Metal Powders for Industrial Applications
Wear-Resistant. Tough. Made for Manufacturing.
Tool steels are designed for mold-making, cutting tools, dies, and high-wear industrial parts. Known for their exceptional hardness, compressive strength, and thermal resistance, these materials are ideal for functional parts subjected to repetitive impact, friction, or heat cycling.
Tool steel powders are fully compatible with Farsoon’s LPBF platforms like FS271M, FS273M, FS721M, and FS1521M, allowing manufacturers to directly produce tools, inserts, and production-grade components with excellent precision and reduced lead times.
