This advanced metal 3D printing
process builds parts layer by layer by fully melting metal powder with a high-powered laser. It allows for the production of complex, high-precision components with excellent structural integrity, making it
ideal for intricate and demanding designs.
Stainless Steel 316L
is commonly used in SLM due to its outstanding corrosion resistance, mechanical strength, and thermal stability. Its low carbon content also makes it highly weldable and
reduces the risk of cracking or deformation during processing.
Parts produced with SLM using 316L
are ideal for demanding applications in industries such as aerospace, medical, marine, and chemical processing,
where both performance and reliability are critical.
STRENGTHS
Lead Time 2 weeks, Low-cost, good quality
WEAKNESSES
Limited dimensional accuracy
For example: a product with dimensions of 50x50x100 mm can be ±0.5% with a lower limit of ±050 mm (±0.020″) bigger or smaller in any direction.
