How does metal 3D printing works?
The 3D Printer begins sintering each layer-first the support structures to the base plate, then the part itself, with a laser aimed onto a bed of metallic powder.
After a cross-section layer or powder is micro-welded, the build plate shifts down and a recoater blade moves across the platform to deposit the next layer of powder into an inert build chamber.
The process is repeated layer by layer until the part is complete.
Metal 3D Printing Process
- Prepare the CAD model
- Slicing
- Printing
- Clean the powder
- Cut the parts off from the plate
- Remove the support
- Sandblasting, bead blasting, polishing, powder coating…

What is direct metal laser sintering( DMLS)?
Direct metal laser sintering (DMLS) is an industrial metal 3D printing process that builds fully functional metal prototypes and production parts in 4 days or less.
It builds the metal parts from a CAD file using a laser selectively fusing a fine metal powder.
A DMLS machine can produce highly complex features and all-in-one assemblies using metal materials that would be difficult to achieve with subtractive manufacturing techniques.
DMLS provides a fast way to produce metals such as aluminum, stainless steel, and titanium strong end-use parts.
