What Is Direct Metal Laser Sintering? Direct metal laser sintering is an additive manufacturing technology that uses various metal and alloy materials to create durable parts and product prototypes. The process begins in the same way as other additive manufacturing technologies, with a computer program that segments 3D data into 2D cross-sectional images. Each cross-section serves as a blueprint, and the data is transmitted to the device. The recorder component pushes powdered metal material from the powder supply onto the build plate, creating a uniform layer of powder. A laser is then used to draw a 2D cross-section on the surface of the build material, heating and melting the material. After each layer is completed, the build plate is lowered to make room for the next layer, and more material is evenly reapplied to the previous layer. The machine continues to sinter layer by layer, building parts from the bottom up, then removing the finished parts from the base for post-processing, then removing the finished parts from the base for post-processing, including heat treatment, polishing, and other processes. TEYU laser chillers come with mature temperature control solutions for the laser additive manufacturing industry. And high-quality and high-efficient laser chiller CW-7800 is the perfect cooling solution for direct metal laser sintering (DMLS).
