DMLS Additive
How does it work?
Direct Metal Laser Sintering (DMLS) forms fully functional metal components from CAD models by using a precise, high-wattage laser to micro-weld powdered metals & alloys.
Advantages
- Complex geometries with lattice structures & internal passages
- High-resolution & fine feature details
- Good mechanical properties
- Wide range of materials
- Fully dense metal parts
Production Parts
Manufacture custom or one-off parts with LMPBF or replace low-volume castings with a 3D metal part.
Functional Prototyping
Parts are fit for full-usage scenarios due to the process's characteristic hardness & durability.
Thermal Control Systems
Produce previously un-manufacturable designs, such as heat exchangers & thermal control systems as a single assembly.
