A 3D metal printing process that uses a high-powered laser to fully melt and fuse metal powder particles layer by layer, creating dense and strong metal parts. SLM is ideal for producing complex metal components with high strength, excellent thermal properties, and fine details. This process is widely used in industries like aerospace, automotive, and medical devices for both prototyping and end-use parts.

Layer height refers to the thickness of each individual layer in a 3D print. Thinner layers produce smoother, more detailed prints but take longer. Thicker layers print faster but result in a rougher surface with less detail. Choosing the right layer height depends on the part’s required balance between quality and production time.
Coarser layer thickness that allows for faster printing but with slightly lower surface resolution.
A balance between detail and speed.
Ultra-fine layer thickness, offering the highest level of detail and surface quality.
The natural, slightly rough surface straight from the printer without any additional finishing.
Small beads or particles are blasted onto the surface to remove roughness and create a uniform texture.
A manual process to achieve a high-gloss or mirror-like finish by removing surface imperfections.
