SLM (Selective Laser Melting) is a type of 3D metal printing technology that allows for the fabrication of complex three-dimensional metal parts. The process of SLM involves the printer selectively fuse fine metal powder particles together using a high-power laser. Another layer is spread on top, and the process is repeated until the final part is completed.
One of the key features of SLM is the ability to work with multiple materials, enabling the creation of parts with varied material properties within a single component.With metal 3d printing you can produce functional prototypes and end-use part with complex geometries, Lattice structures or hollow designs for weight-saving applications, and other features that would be near impossible to make via other methods.
Multi-material selection in SLM 3D metal printing refers to the process of selecting and combining different metal powders to achieve desired material characteristics in the final printed part. This can be particularly useful for applications where different material properties are required in different regions of the same component.
By using different metal powders and controlling the printing parameters in the SLM machine, multi-material selection can be achieved to create parts with complex internal structures and different material combinations, offering more application possibilities.
SLM (Selective Laser Melting) metal 3D printing technology allows for the selection of a wide range of metal materials to be printed, such as stainless steel, titanium alloys, aluminium alloys Mould steel and more.
