Subject field(s)
  • Industrial Techniques and Processes

... direct metal laser melting(DMLM), the latest technology for 3D printing and additive manufacturing of metal parts.... Utilizing the DMLM process, metal parts of the most complex geometries are built layer-by-layer(down to 20 microns) directly from 3D CAD [computer-aided design] data. Parts built using DMLM have excellent mechanical properties equivalent to wrought materials, high detail resolution, and exceptional surface quality. The metal powder is melted entirely to create a fully dense, fine, homogenous structure. Unique geometric freedom of design enables DMLM to form cavities and undercuts, which with conventional machining methods, can only be produced with great difficulty, if at all.

Procédé de fabrication additive dans lequel l'objet est obtenu par la fusion sélective de certaines zones d'un lit de poudre.

CONT

[En] fabrication additive, la «fusion sur lit de poudre» désigne les procédés [où] on utilise l'énergie thermique (laser ou faisceau d'électrons) pour faire fondre et fusionner les particules [de sections] bien déterminées d'un lit de poudre.

OBS

L'énergie thermique nécessaire à la fusion sur lit de poudre est notamment fournie par un faisceau laser ou un faisceau d'électrons.
