Why Use Metal 3D Printing?
How Does Metal 3D Printing Work?
Metal 3D printing layers metal powder and melts it using a high-power laser or electron beam based on a digital design. The design is sliced into many layers, each printed by melting the powder into the specific pattern of that layer. After one layer is completed, the platform lowers, and a new layer of powder is applied. This cycle repeats until the object is fully formed. Post-printing processes like heat treatment may be used to enhance mechanical properties. This method allows for the creation of complex, detailed parts that are unachievable with traditional manufacturing methods.
