Metal 3D printing, also known as metal additive manufacturing, refers to the process of iteratively depositing thin layers of metal powders that are fused through laser or electron beam, transforming digital 3D models into solid, physical components. This technology surpasses conventional manufacturing by creating complex structures, facilitating rapid prototyping, and reducing waste materials through a more precise, layer-by-layer fabrication.
For industrial manufacturing, metal 3D printing holds revolutionary implications. It accelerates the product development cycle by enabling manufacturers to iterate on designs faster and eliminates the need for investing in custom tooling for intricate parts. The technology also enables weight reduction and performance improvement in parts by allowing for a more sophisticated and efficient design. As such, it undoubtedly presents a paradigm shift in the production and design of industrial components.

Both Selective Laser Melting (SLM) and Direct Metal Laser Sintering (DMLS) are metal 3D printing techniques, distinguished by their methods. SLM involves complete melting of metal powder layers, producing dense parts, whereas DMLS sintering generates parts with slightly lower density but smoother surface finishes.
While similar, SLM and DMLS differ in their impact on the final product: SLM's complete melting creates denser parts, ideal for functional components, while DMLS may yield smoother surfaces with slightly lower density.
In the field of industrial manufacturing, metal 3D printing technology is a huge technological innovation. It provides a more direct and excellent process for metal manufacturing for solving the tough tasks that other metal processings can not achieve. In the 1970s the Powder Bed Fusion (PBF) process was first introduced, and it follows a relatively simple principle: Using the laser energy to sinter or melt metal powder layer by layer. The most famous technologies based on PBF are undoubtedly direct metal laser sintering (DMLS) and selective laser melting (SLM).
For years LUSHI has been working with universities and research institutes to study the cutting-edge technology of AM, mainly focus on LPBF technology and its applications. Based on our technological know-how, we offer our worldwide clients AM solutions for building durable end-use metal parts for industries such as medical, automotive and energy.
