Selective Laser Melting Metal 3D Printing/Stainless steel / aluminum alloy / titanium alloy
See how SLM metal powder bed fusion uses a high-energy laser to fully melt metal powder layer by layer for dense, complex, functional parts.
Project Summary
This 57-second process video introduces selective laser melting (SLM), a metal powder bed fusion method. A high-energy laser melts metal powder layer by layer to form dense, complex parts. The page title also lists stainless steel, aluminum alloy, and titanium alloy, but does not identify the specific alloy shown in the video.
Transcript
Selective laser melting, or SLM, is a metal 3D printing process. A high-energy laser melts metal powder in successive layers. Each layer contributes to the final part, allowing complex shapes to be built. The result is a dense, functional metal component.
