Metal additive manufacturing using DMLS (Direct Metal Laser Sintering) and SLM (Selective Laser Melting) technologies. Produce complex metal parts with excellent mechanical properties for aerospace, medical, automotive, and industrial applications.
Metal 3D printing, also known as DMLS (Direct Metal Laser Sintering) or SLM (Selective Laser Melting), uses high-powered lasers to melt metal powder layer by layer, building fully dense metal parts from CAD data.
This technology enables the production of complex geometries that would be impossible or prohibitively expensive with traditional manufacturing methods like casting or machining. Metal AM is widely adopted in aerospace, medical, automotive, and industrial sectors.
Directly sinters metal powder without fully melting it. Excellent for most metal alloys including stainless steel, aluminum, and cobalt chrome.
Fully melts metal powder into a homogeneous part. Ideal for titanium and other reactive metals requiring precise control.
Excellent corrosion resistance, good mechanical properties. Ideal for marine, chemical, and medical applications.
Good corrosion resistance and formability. Widely used for general industrial applications.
Lightweight with good strength. Ideal for aerospace, automotive, and robotics applications.
Excellent strength-to-weight ratio. Widely used in aerospace, medical implants, and racing applications.
Exceptional wear resistance and biocompatibility. Ideal for medical implants and turbine components.
High hardness and wear resistance for tooling, dies, and injection molding applications.
