Advantages of Direct Metal Laser Sintering in Rapid Prototyping

Image
Most people associate 3D printing with making plastic parts for prototyping or end-use purposes. But with advancements in additive manufacturing technologies, it is now possible to 3D-print metal parts using the direct metal laser sintering process. Known as DMLS for short, direct metal laser sintering is a well-known industrial additive manufacturing technology similar to selective laser sintering (SLS) . However, it builds parts one layer at a time by fusing metal-based powders with a high-power laser. As such, it can realize complex designs that would otherwise be difficult to make with machining and other manufacturing technologies. Plus, it can build parts without support structures, so you spend less time post-processing. DMLS 3D printing can benefit your prototyping process in many ways. Given its speed, reliability, and cost-efficiency, it can speed up your product development and time to market to get ahead of your competition. Besides that, direct metal laser sintering c

Building the Future: Exploring HLH Prototypes' Role in SLS 3D Printing

  Do you need functional prototypes or end-use parts? There are a lot of manufacturing options to choose from today. And at HLH Prototypes, we recommend the most proven technologies that can save you money and time. One of our solutions is the  SLS 3D printing service , which builds durable, tough parts accurately from powdered nylon (PA12).   Selective laser sintering (SLS) selectively fuses powdered nylon in the build chamber with a precise laser. The printing process builds the part one layer at a time, and because of the powdered material, there is no need to use support structures, even for designs with complex geometries. This is why our SLS 3D printing service is a great choice for building tougher, functional parts that can endure high-stress environments. As experienced prototyping and manufacturing specialists, our team at HLH Prototypes are committed to maximizing SLS 3D printing to impact the future of manufacturing. At the same time, we want to benefit your product des
