Metal AM robot Y-flange joint nest on build plate

Batch of identical Y-shaped robot flange joints still nested on the build plate — useful for nesting density, powder escape between neighbors, and cut-off strategy after a multi-part run.

    Why show a full nest

    Batch nesting is a different conversation from a single studio joint: neighbor spacing, recoater clearance, and powder removal between parts dominate the RFQ.

    Nesting checklist

    • Minimum gap between joints for powder escape
    • Shared support strategy that does not weld neighbors together
    • Which parts are first articles versus production nests

    Honesty bar

    No claimed cycle times, laser counts, or cost-per-part figures on this page — bring those expectations on your RFQ if you have them.
