Metal Laser Powder Bed Fusion Technology

Metal laser powderbed fusion (MLPBF), also known as direct metal laser sintering (DMLS), is an advanced 3D printing technology uses powerful, high energy density fiber laser to melt metal alloy powder layer by layer:

Thin layers of metal powder material are recoated onto the powder bed using a rubber or metal blade depends on the metal alloy used.
The laser operates and melts the powder exactly within the defined area of the digital model section in each layer.
The 3D metal part forms with the recoating-melting process.

Metal LPBF: Advantages & Applications

Metal LPBF technology offers many advantages compared to conventional manufacturing and other metal 3D printing technologies. It allows you to fabricate fine-detailed, top quality metal parts with simplified process for a variety of industrial applications.

Design & manufacturing of complex structures.

Thanks to the advanced process of LPBF, manufacturers are able to design and fabricate complex parts that are not able to be made with conventional process. Complex structures such as conformal cooling channels, hydro-mechanics design and lattice frames can now be produced without the requirement of additional tools.

Excellent option for highly functional applications.

Compared to other metal 3D printing technologies, the MLPBF process requires no binder liquids or glue which need to be removed through additional treatments; As a result, it is able to build higher density, size-accuracy parts with consistent micro-structure, making it an ideal technology for manufacturing high-performance functional applications in aerospace, medical, automotive and tooling.

Large-scale components.

Metal LPBF technology offers many design possibilities for integrated structures, topology optimization and internal hollowing for large-scale components in aerospace and automotive. The weight-reduction of these key components in are critical factors to improve the strength-to-weight ratio.

Mass customization of medical device.

With the advanced capabilities of Metal LPBF, surgeons and dentists are able to create personalized, precise medical device designs including lattice, cavities, undercuts and porous densities, to ensure the best fit and promote the long-term stability. Also due to the low-volume numbers needed, the Metal LPBF is the perfect “on-demand” mass customization tool in creating implants, orthopedics and dental devices.
