Example of Aerospace blades built using DMLS in Cobalt Chrome |
Direct Metal Laser Sintering (DMLS) is a revolutionary technology that produces metal components that are 99.99% dense, directly from your 3D CAD data. The parts produced are comparable to a good investment cast part and the mechanical properties are comparable to those of a cast or machined component.
The DMLS process is not restrictive in its application and the components produced can be used in place of almost any conventionally manufactured part, whether they would normally be machined or cast. The advantage of the process is that the more complex or feature rich the component, the more economical the process becomes.
This fast, flexible and cost-effective method enables you to produce prototype or production parts without the investment in time and money of conventional tooling. Current applications are as diverse as Formula 1/Aerospace, Medical and Tooling.
