About 3D Print Pipes

Our Story

Flow Without Compromise

3D Print Pipes is the authoritative resource for additive manufacturing in pipe, duct, and fluid system applications — covering the technology, materials, and engineering practice behind printed flow components.

We cover the full range of flow geometry AM: SLM stainless hydraulic manifolds, SLS nylon air handling components, PEEK chemical process fittings, and titanium aerospace ducting.

Our editorial team includes fluid system engineers, mechanical designers, and AM process specialists who understand the difference between a flow manifold that looks right in CAD and one that passes a hydrostatic test.

What Drives Us

Mission & Vision

Engineering First

We cover pipe printing from the engineering requirement — pressure rating, temperature, media compatibility, connection standard — not just the print process.

Materials Depth

316L SLM for hydraulics. Carbon PA12 for corrosion resistance. PEEK for chemical process. Inconel for elevated temperature. We match the material to the duty.

Design for AM

Internal flow optimisation, lattice-reinforced walls, integrated sensor ports, and consolidation of welded assemblies into single printed parts — this is where AM wins.

Editorial Standards

Our Values

Technical Accuracy

Written by engineers who understand pressure ratings.

Process Coverage

SLM, SLS, FDM, and binder jet — all covered.

Industry Range

Oil & gas to HVAC. Aerospace to marine.

Independence

Editorial coverage independent of machine vendor marketing.
