DMLS (Direct Metal Laser Sintering)

Direct Metal Laser Sintering (DMLS), also known as DMP (Direct Metal Printing), employs a high-wattage laser to precisely micro-weld powdered metals and alloys, enabling the creation of fully functional metal components directly from CAD data. It offers the advantage of eliminating tooling and enables the production of intricate geometries not feasible with other metal manufacturing methods. While Stainless Steel is the most commonly used material, options like Inconel, Aluminum, and Titanium are also available. DMLS parts exhibit strength, durability, and heat resistance, while being denser than investment cast metal parts. This precise metal 3D printing technique excels in producing fine feature detail, making it well-suited for complex oil and gas components, intricate small parts, custom medical guides, consolidated aerospace parts, and robust functional prototypes.
