DMLS is fast becoming a recognised manufacturing method for the fast, accurate production of one-off prototype components or for the economical manufacture of small series parts for testing purposes, or as final products for use in many different environments.
The process generates hard wearing but intricate components, opening up opportunities to all industries, including Aerospace, Automotive, Electronic and Medical, and for generating Tooling Inserts.
Certain materials give the parts rigidity and weight, thereby making it attractive to the aerospace and automotive sectors for vigorous testing and use in a wind tunnel. The strength of the process makes it attractive to the medical sector, and the high levels of finishing produces parts that are sterile and hygienic.
More and more industries are using physical models throughout their product development cycle, dramatically reducing their time to market and assisting them with:-
- Communication of ideas
- Investigating ergonomics
- Functionality testing
- Wind tunnel testing
- Assembly trials
- Market research
Here are some examples of how DMLS can assist some key industries that we work with:
