Direct Metal Laser Sintering Dmls 3d Printers

A range of metals produce final parts that can be used for end use applications.

Direct metal laser sintering dmls 3d printers.

Direct metal laser sintering dmls is an additive 3d metal printing technology that builds prototype and production metal parts from a cad file producing complex geometries without the need for tooling. Direct metal laser sintering dmls dmls uses a precise high wattage laser to micro weld powdered metals and alloys to form fully functional metal components from your cad model. Dmls uses a laser to selectively fuse a fine metal powder in either stainless steel or aluminum materials. This ultra high end 3d printing process is one of the world s most advanced manufacturing technologies.

But take a look for yourself. A range of metals produce final parts that can be used for end use applications. This process is an advancement of powder metallurgy pm a mature metal molding technology that uses heat and pressure to form powdered metal parts. Direct metal laser sintering dmls is an industrial metal 3d printing process that builds fully functional metal prototypes and production parts in 7 days or less.

In the machine a high precision laser is directed to metal powder particles to selectively build up thin horizontal metal layers one after the other. Dmls parts are made with powdered materials like aluminum stainless steel and titanium as well as niche alloys like monel k500 and nickel alloy 718. Direct metal laser sintering dmls is one of the few 3d printing technologies that directly create a metal part from its 3d computer model. Direct metal laser sintering direct metal laser sintering or dmls for short is a game changer when to comes to direct 3d printing of metals.
