Direct Metal Laser Sintering (DMLS) for Additive Manufacturing

In direct metal laser sintering, a fiber laser draws onto the surface of atomized powder to build production-quality metal parts. The laser welds the metal powder into a solid. After the first laser draw and the powder’s transition into a solid, a blade adds a fresh layer of powder and repeats the process until the part is formed.
