Laser Metal Fusion

Laser metal fusion also known as selective laser melting or powder bed fusion is an additive manufacturing process it is effectively a 3d printing technology that builds components from a powder bed by selectively melting the powder and fusing it layer by layer onto the underlying substrate.

Laser metal fusion. Is a custom metal fabrication shop with capabilities in forming fit up welding and finishing. Laser metal fusion lmf auf deutsch pulverbettbasiertes laserschmelzen ist ein additives fertigungsverfahren bei dem ein werkstück schritt für schritt in einem pulverbett aufgebaut wird. To many slm is considered to be a subcategory of selective laser sintering. Hierfür schmilzt ein laser das metallische pulver genau an den stellen zu materialschichten um die die cad konstruktionsdaten des bauteils.

Discover the steps involved in 3d printing metal with direct metal laser sintering. Fusion metal products inc. We also have the ability to plasma or laser cut parts as well as powder coat parts or assemblies up to 30 feet long. The fusion pro laser machine is epilog laser s large flatbed fiber laser machine perfect for engraving barcodes text and logos on metals and engineered plastics the fusion pro is available in 32 x 20 812 x 508 mm and 48 x 36 1219 x 914 mm models and features our highest engraving speeds and our standard industrial grade quality.

In contrast laser metal fusion lmf or the process commonly known as metal 3d printing is a powder bed based laser fusion process that converts 3d digital data into a physical part built up layer by layer. The part geometry 3d model is prepared in a special software that slices the volume into very thin layers. Laser metal fusion is capable of generating fully functional metal prototypes and production parts using sisma 3d metal printers. Selective laser melting slm also known as direct metal laser melting dmlm or laser powder bed fusion lpbf is a rapid prototyping 3d printing or additive manufacturing technique designed to use a high power density laser to melt and fuse metallic powders together.

It uses a variety of alloys which allow the prototype to be made from the same material as production components.
