SLM（Selective Laser Melting）is a kind of technology which under the control of computer program to use a high-energy-density laser to scan, then selective melting pre-laid metal powder layers to combine with matrix metallurgy, then continuously paving and scanning layer by layer, finally completing the three-dimensional metal parts.

The materials are stainless steel, copper alloy, titanium alloy, cobalt-chromium alloy, nickel-chromium alloy etc.

Features

1、It is suitable for single and small batch production, and can directly produce metal products, saving the cost of mould and the time of making a new mould.

2、It is suitable for casting the workpiece with complex structure, especially for complex internal structures (such as cavity), complex workpieces that cannot be manufactured by conventional methods, or for the conditions where material costs are high and waste of material because of using the subtractive materials process.

SLM technology has mature applications in the fields of metal mold manufacturing, lightweight metal parts manufacturing, porous structure manufacturing and medical implants.
