SLM Technology

Selective Laser Melting (SLM) or Laser Powder Bed Fusion (LPBF) uses a high-power laser source to melt and fuse metallic powders together. A focused laser beam source selectively melts metallic powders along a thin layer, depending upon the cross-section of the part. The process repeats layer-by-layer until the final part is built. Laser based powder bed fusion technology supports a wide variety of materials to be 3D printed and can produce better surface finish with minimum feature size.
