Metal 3D Printing Process

Take SLM 3D Printing as an example, the printing process can be divided into six steps:

  

Step1

Convert STL files into G-code through slicer program, so that the metal 3D printer can read and understand.

Step2

Parameters such as layer thickness, laser energy, and supports, etc. The first layer is rolling down by the powder roller, while the laser light selects an area and melt and fuse the materials together.

Step3

The printing bed is moving downward, and the roller rolls down a new layer of material, 

and the laser light keeps working on the selective area.

Step4

Takes time for cooling down build chamber.

Step5

The resin 3D prints will emerge from the material pool.

Step6

Takes time to wait for residual un-cured resins running down.

Step7

Send the printed parts to post-processing for better surface, higher hardness, higher mechanical properties, etc.
