SLM: Selective laser melting is a major technical approach in the manufacturing of metal material additives.
This technology uses laser as the energy source, and scans the metal powder bed layer by layer according to the path planned in the 3D CAD slice model. The scanned metal powder is melted and solidified to achieve the effect of metallurgical combination, and finally the metal parts designed by the model are obtained.
SLM technology overcomes the difficulties of traditional technology in manufacturing metal parts with complex shapes. It can directly form nearly fully dense metal parts with good mechanical properties.
