How Selective Laser Melting (SLM) Works
Selective Laser Melting (SLM) is a revolutionary 3D printing technology which uses a laser to melt and fuse metal powder particles together, layer-by-layer, to create complex metal components. SLM is ideal for creating complex geometries with intricate features, and is capable of producing parts with exceptional mechanical properties. With SLM, you can produce high-quality, repeatable parts with a wide range of materials, including titanium, aluminum, and stainless steel. With SLM, you can achieve a level of precision and accuracy that would otherwise be impossible.
