DMLS 3D Printing

Direct Metal Laser Sintering

DMLS, also known as selective laser melting (SLM), uses a laser to selectively fuse sections of fine metallic powder from the ground up. DMLS is advantageous because it can produce fully dense parts for fluid transfer applications. DMLS can use aluminum AlSi10Mg, stainless steel, maraging steel, tool steel, cobalt chrome, and Inconel. It is more expensive than binder jetting but has superior mechanical properties for high-precision applications. 

DMLS & SLM  capabilities

Build Size：15" x 10" x 10" (400 x 250 x 250 mm)

• General Tolerances：Depending on the part’s size and geometry, parts may shrink 0.8%–2.5% during cooling. Internal geometries, such as slots and holes, may shrink as much as 5%

• Layer Height：0.004” (100 microns)

• Surface Roughness：30 to 200 µin Ra, depending on build orientation, finish, and material used for the build

• Density：Homogeneous with 98%+ density

• Standard lead time :5 day
