SLM metal laser sintering technology is an industrial metal 3D printing technology that makes a series of metal materials into parts one layer at a time by sintering metal powders together. This Metal 3D Printing Mold Core process is capable of creating highly complex shapes that are nearly impossible to achieve with other traditional machining methods.

As the professional manufacturer, we would like to provide you Metal 3D Printing Mold Core. The basic principle of laser selective melting technology (SLM) is: firstly use Pro/e, UG, CATIA and other three-dimensional modeling software to design the three-dimensional solid model of the part on computer, then slice and layer the three-dimensional model through the slicing software to obtain contour data of each section, And use the contour data to generate filling scanning path, after that, the equipment will follow these filling scanning lines to control laser beam to selectively melt the metal powder material of each layer, and gradually stack it into a three-dimensional metal part.
SLM is a good choice for manufacturing complex metal parts that are almost impossible to manufacture by traditional processes, or require a high cost, SLM is a good weight reduction application and selection of dense parts.
1 | Various metals are available. "Pure" metal materials can be printed, as well as alloy materials. |
2 | Ability to achieve complex shapes or internal features (difficult or expensive to achieve through traditional manufacturing) |
3 | Shorten lead time as no tools are required |
4 | Parts merging, allowing multiple parts to be produced at the same time |
