Metal-Projects | Production | Metal 3D Printing

In order to produce unique, robust, and lightweight parts, even for the most complex applications, metal 3D printing, also known as selective laser melting (SLM), combines the design flexibility of 3D printing with the mechanical qualities of high-performance metal alloys. Metal 3D printing is perfect for producing finished parts and completely functional prototypes that might be impossible to manufacture using traditional production techniques.
