Plastic & metal materials
Customization and personalization: 3D printing allows parts and products to be easily customized to meet individual needs.
High degree of design freedom: It is possible to create complex geometries that are difficult or impossible to manufacture with traditional manufacturing techniques.
Rapid prototyping: Designers and engineers can quickly print out prototypes, accelerating the product development process.
Reduced material waste: 3D printing uses only the required materials, reducing material waste.
Reduced tooling costs: No expensive molds or tools are required, especially for complex parts.
Versatility: The ability to print in a variety of materials and colors increases design flexibility.
SLM 3D printing materials
The materials used in SLM technology are mainly metal powders, including stainless steel, mold steel, titanium alloy, aluminum alloy, cobalt-chromium alloy, nickel alloy, copper, etc. The entire printing process is carried out in a closed chamber filled with inert gas (such as argon) to prevent metal powder oxidation. , the laser system usually uses a fiber laser with a wavelength of 1064nm and a laser power range of 200 to 1000 watts

After SLA printing is completed, washing is usually required to remove uncured resin, and post-curing may be required to complete the polymerization process, as well as possible grinding, polishing, and painting processes.
The cost of an SLM system ranges from $300,000 to $1,000,000+, depending on size, features, and options
The advantages of SLM include high design freedom, no hard tooling, reduced material waste, suitability for complex and small batch production, reduced development time, and improved performance
Typical applications of SLM include turbine blades in the aerospace field, orthopedic implants in the medical field, and lightweight components in the automotive field
SLA printing can provide printed objects with high precision and details, and tolerances can usually be controlled within ±0.1mm.
