Selective Laser Melting (SLM)

Direct metal production for complex structures and conformal cooling.

SLM fully melts metal powder to create aluminum, stainless steel, tool steel and titanium parts with complex internal geometry.

01

How It Works

A high-energy laser fully melts metal powder in an inert atmosphere, building near-wrought-density parts before support removal and heat treatment.

How It Works

02

Benefits and Limitations

SLM enables internal channels, lattices and lightweight structures that conventional machining cannot easily make. Supports, residual stress, surface roughness and finishing must be planned together.
