Any recommended US metal 3D printers?

I’m looking for a US metal printer to have some stainless drop outs printed.

Anyone have any recommendations?

Thanks.

Haven’t used them for bikes, but I can highly recommend ADDMAN- they’re a group of a few different small businesses, but their metal 3D print shop (KAM) is based out of Statesville NC and has all the state of the art stuff. If you do end up getting quotes through them and don’t mind sharing, I’ve been very curious how cost competitive they may be!

Thank you Dustin.

Do you know if you are looking for heat treated 17-4 or as-built? If you don’t mind a potentially long lead time and as-built I can throw some on a build!

Not familiar with as-built so forgive me on that. I also assume I’d prefer 17-4 vs. say, 316 but I also don’t know that much regarding what’s best for drop outs.

ah sorry, as-built just means without a stress relief heat treatment cycle. We just don’t have an oven in house so would have to pay for that. I’ll DM you with my e-mail and you can send over the files and we can chat about details. cheers!
