3D printed stainless steel is pretty strong. Depending on the design of the hinge it may also be possible to have it CNC machined.

CNC machining is going to be incredibly expensive for this sort of part.
Metal 3D printing is also very expensive. Unless your talking about plastic impregnated with metal, in these cases the plastic is responsible for the structure of the part the metal is just aesthetic.

Any idea about the costs for a 25x25x50mm size? Cnc and laser sinter?
Haven’t thought about CNC yet. Thx

Once you have the model you should at least get a quote from a machine shop. 99% chance it’s way too expensive, but you never know and quotes are free.

I‘ll try. Thx
