Direct Metal Laser Sintering or DMLS is an industrial metal 3D printing technology. It is a powder bed fusion process similar to SLS, which builds parts from a range of metal materials one layer at a time by sintering metal powders together.
DMLS 3D printing is a process capable of building highly complex shapes which would be near impossible to make via other methods. This technology promises to have a massive range of applications as it improves and becomes better understood.

Metal 3D Printing Materials
3D printing with pure copper is possible with DMLS and SLM. Copper is a malleable, ductile, and an extremely good conductor of both heat and electricity. It is ideal for heat exchangers and electrical equipment such as wiring and motors.
Appearance:Pinkish Red
Bronze is an affordable metal 3D printing material option. It's a copper-based alloy that resists corrosion and metal fatigue better and conducts heat and electricity better than most steels. Bronze is commonly used for sculptures, musical instruments, medals and in other industrial applications.

Future Parts can 3D print in different grades of stainless steel. Stainless steel is strong and highly resistant to corrosion and rust, making it ideal for parts that are exposed to different elements for long periods and do not easily break.
Material Reference: FS 316L, FS 420, FS 15-5PH, FS 17-4PH
Appearance: Silver Metallic
Titanium alloys have high specific strength, good high temperature mechanical properties and excellent corrosion resistance. 3D printing with titanium is very precise, making it a popular material choice in the aerospace and automotive industries.
Material Reference: FS Ti6Al4V, FSTA15
Appearance: Silver Grey-White Metallic
Aluminium is a cost-effective choice. 3D-printed aluminium parts are strong and light, making them ideal for the aerospace, aviation, and automotive industries.
Material Reference: FS AlSi10Mg
Appearance: Silver Metallic
With SLM and DMLS, you can 3D print difficult-to-machine metals like Nickel-base superalloy. Nickel-base superalloys are corrosion resistant high-temperature alloys that have exceptional strength. It is typically used in aerospace, power generation, and automotive high temperature applications.

The Advantage of product
Metal printing defies traditional Design-For-Manufacturing guidelines, so designs that would typically be made in assemblies can be made in a single piece.
DMLS and SLM produces parts that cannot be made using traditional manufacturing techniques.
Metal 3D printed parts do not require tooling which reduces the manufacturing lead time from weeks to days, allowing for faster innovation and speed to market.
SLM and DMLS utilizes powdered metals with strong mechanical and dynamic properties, making it perfect for end-use parts.
The Feature of product
DMLS and SLM technologies deliver accurate parts with precision up to 0.1mm, providing a solid foundation for high-quality components.
