Selective Laser Melting
Manufacturing with SLM 3D printing
Selective Laser Melting (SLM) is a metal additive manufacturing process within the powder bed fusion 3D printing family. It utilizes a laser to scan and selectively fuse or melt metal powder particles, bonding them together to build a part layer-by-layer.
Primarily, Metal SLM 3D printing is used for :
- Custom tools
- Low-volume and specialty parts
- Functional metal prototypes
- Spare and Obsolete Parts
