3D Additive Metal Design and Manufacturing Service

Additive manufacturing and selective laser melting of metals are the new ways to form metal in a specific design and shape. The Additive 3 D metal manufacturing is an advance manufacturing technology which allows to design and manufacture the parts that are hard to make by using the conventional manufacturing technologies. The selective additive 3D laser manufacturing possesses the potential to disrupt the traditional manufacturing methods. Further advancements are underway to make commercialisation cost-effective of the metal parts made by the 3D Metal manufacturing process.  In this process a layer of metal powder is spread onto a substrate plate. The laser selectively melts the powder to create the first layer of the build. A fresh layer of metal powder is evenly distributed over the build surface. The 3D metal manufacturing process thus starts layer by layer.  The lasers melt each successive layer to the layers underneath until the desired completely dense metal component is produced which can be complex geometric shapes or hollow structures.

The 3D additive metal manufacturing or advanced additive metal manufacturing can form complex parts such as cooling jackets having internal channels for fluid flow in a complex pattern. This can offer optimal flow and desired thermal conductivity. The 3D additive metal manufacturing can offer drastic reduction in cycle time, and production costs if the designs are very complex as this 3D metal manufacturing can minimise the scrap metal parts. The additive metal manufacturing is offered by the companies like Nikon-SLM Solutions, the German Japanese alliance company that offers the 3D additive metal manufacturing equipment. The 3D metal manufacturing equipment, that this company provides, can make dental prosthetics and can do their mass customisation by swiftly changing the CAD files. The SLM280 3D metal manufacturing CNC machine can make complex rocket propulsion engines, gooseneck brackets which is done by reducing the material consumption by 30% less which makes the component lighter without compromising its strength.
