Direct Metal (SLM)

Direct Metal (SLM)

A world class additive manufacturing process for the direct production of metal parts.

Direct Metal Selective Laser Melting (SLM) is an additive metals manufacturing technology with a growing presence in the healthcare,  aerospace and high technology engineering and electronics sectors.

The SLM process uses a high powered laser to fuse fine metal powders together layer by layer direct from CAD data to create functional metal parts. After each layer a powder re-coater system deposits a fresh layer of powder in thicknesses ranging from 20 to 100 microns. The SLM system uses commercially available gas atomized metallic powders to produce fully dense metal parts in materials including Titanium, Stainless Steel, Cobalt Chrome and Tool Steel.

Designed with the tool room or factory floor in mind these systems come with a simple touch screen user interface, easy to manage powder handling systems and robust construction. Just choose a build envelope and material to suit your specific applications requirements.
