What Is SLM Metal 3D Printing and Who Needs It?
Understanding Selective Laser Melting (SLM) Selective Laser Melting (SLM) is a powder bed fusion metal 3D printing technology that creates parts from metal powders. In SLM, a high-power laser selectively melts and fuses metallic powders together layer by layer, following a digital 3D design. The process takes place in a controlled atmosphere, typically using inert…
