Direct Metal Laser Sintering (DMLS) 3D Printing at Mucision

Direct Metal Laser Sintering (DMLS) is an innovative additive manufacturing technique that enables the production of intricate, functional assemblies directly in metal. This process involves the selective sintering of metal powder layer-by-layer using a high-powered laser, often requiring little to no machining. DMLS empowers businesses to capitalize on the potential of 3D printing for various applications, ensuring exceptional strength and durability in the final products.
DMLS is the ideal choice for rapidly manufacturing precise, complex metal parts featuring lattice structures and hollow cavities. This technology grants designers the freedom to create lightweight, highly functional components for diverse end-use applications. Consequently, DMLS has gained popularity in high-performance industries such as automotive and aerospace manufacturing, where designers can leverage its capabilities to produce lighter and more complex parts without compromising strength.

How does DMLS work?

Direct Metal Laser Sintering (DMLS) is an advanced metal additive manufacturing technology that builds metal parts directly from a CAD file by selectively fusing stainless steel or aluminum powder into thin layers.
A key advantage of DMLS is its layer-by-layer printing approach, which allows for the combination of multiple parts during the printing process. This stands in contrast to traditional manufacturing methods, where metal parts are typically machined or metal casted into separate components and subsequently assembled. By printing an all-in-one assembly, DMLS enhances the strength of the finished part while significantly reducing weight and production costs. Furthermore, the ability of DMLS to create high-density parts makes it an optimal choice for industries requiring components to withstand high pressure, such as the oil and gas sector.

The provided table outlines the general tolerances for Direct Metal Laser Sintering (DMLS). However, factors such as build stresses and geometric complexities may lead to deviations in tolerances and flatness. Designs with thicker geometries, flat or broad parts, and uneven wall thicknesses may be susceptible to substantial deviations or warping. Enhanced tolerances may be attainable through manual quote review and successful prototyping, subject to case-by-case approval. General tolerances apply prior to secondary finishing or post-processing unless otherwise stated. For further details on tolerances per process, please get in touch with us.
