DMLS 3D Printing
DMLS uses a high-power laser to fuse metal powder into dense components directly from CAD data. It enables geometries, internal passages, and part consolidation that can be difficult or uneconomical to machine conventionally.
The process is used for structural brackets, tooling, thermal components, medical and aerospace geometry, and low-volume metal parts where performance and design freedom are critical.
Every project is reviewed for orientation, supports, distortion risk, heat treatment, machining allowances, surface finish, and inspection requirements before production begins.
400 × 400 × 400 mm build volume
Industrial metal capacity for precision components, tooling, and consolidated assemblies.
Tolerance down to ±0.1 mm
Project-specific accuracy supported by orientation planning and optional finish machining.
Production-grade metal alloys
Stainless steel, aluminium, titanium, tool steel, and nickel superalloys cover demanding use cases.
Complex internal geometry
Produce channels, lattices, lightweight structures, and consolidated parts without conventional tooling.

DMLS 3D printing FAQs
Are DMLS parts solid metal?
Yes. DMLS produces dense metal components. Final density and mechanical properties depend on the alloy, parameters, heat treatment, and finishing route.
Which metals are available?
Typical options include 316L and 17-4PH stainless steel, AlSi10Mg aluminium, Ti64 titanium, tool steel, and Inconel 718.
Does DMLS require supports?
Most builds require supports for heat control, anchoring, and overhangs. These are planned during build preparation and removed after production.
Can printed metal parts be machined?
Yes. Critical faces, threads, bores, sealing surfaces, and tight-tolerance features can be finish-machined when specified.
What files should I provide?
STEP is preferred for engineering review. A drawing should identify tolerances, threads, datums, material, finish, and inspection requirements.
