D2 Tool Steel Material 200cm³
D2 Tool Steel is specifically engineered to provide high abrasive wear resistance. It is air-hardening and easy to machine in the annealed condition, making it an outstanding choice for cold-work applications.
Markforged D2 Tool Steel is formulated for 3D printing with the Metal X. When heat-treated, parts match wrought heat-treated D2 in hardness. One of the characteristics of D2 Tool Steel is it exhibits minimal distortion when heat treated. Markforged’s product retains the same desirable characteristic.
Heat treating D2 Tool Steel increases its hardness and durability, but it is not strictly necessary. Parts can be used as-sintered. As-sintered parts have a hardness of 54 HRC, while heat treated parts have a hardness of 60 HRC.
Markforged D2 meets the chemical requirements of ASTM A681 and the hardness requirements of ASTM E18. In addition to its abrasion resistance, it has high compressive strength and sharp edges.
You would use D2 Tool Steel for sheet metal fabrication and tooling, wherever the tooling demands high abrasion resistance. Example parts include punches, dies, forming rolls, hand tools, knives and blades. It can also be used for blanking, forming, and to manufacture wear-resistant inserts and trim for products.
D2 Tool Steel exhibits less dimensional change on air hardening than H13 Tool Steel and is also more abrasion resistant because of its high chrome content. Both tool steels have their place in tooling. The high abrasion resistance of D2 can be demonstrated by its use to create cavity plates and wear plates for mechanical applications.

DELIVERY BY ADDITIVE-X
BOXES SHIP VIA DPD
Order by 4.30pm Monday to Friday (excl Bank Holidays) and Additive-X will ship your order via DPD the same day. DPD will deliver on working days only.
Depending on your postcode your options at checkout will include DPD NEXT DAY, DPD 12:00 and DPD 10:30 options. Some postcodes will show "DPD TWO DAY".
Shipping to Ireland (Northern or Republic of) is a “DAP” service which means you have to pay any Duty and Taxes. Business customers must email us their EORI and UKIMS numbers.
PALLETS DON'T SHIP VIA DPD - WHAT YOU NEED TO KNOW
Some units can only be shipped safely on a pallet due to weight and/or size. Cut off time for orders shipping by pallet is 1.30pm, that’s because we need to book the job before 2pm.
Pallets are big and they ship on big lorries! If there is any problem with a dustbin-lorry size vehicle accessing your property, you need to let us know and we can request delivery by a smaller 7.5T lorry. If this is the case, then PALLET NEXT DAY may not be available.
Depending on your postcode your options at checkout will include PALLET NEXT DAY, PALLET 2-3 DAYS, PALLET COLLECTION HG4 2RN (organise your own pick-up). Some postcodes will show “PALLET 5-6 DAYS” etc.
Pallet deliveries are between 09.00 and 17.00 and we are unable to give you the ETA in advance.
We use a very reliable local supplier, and the pallets go in to the “Palletforce” network. Currently the network don’t use tracking numbers and you can't track online (coming in 2026). Call or email us to check on a delivery or collection.
