... 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. 3, record 1, English, - direct%20metal%20laser%20melting

The designation "wrought", applied to certain aluminum alloys, indicate that the allow are available in the form of worked products such as sheet, foil, plate, extrusions, tube, forgings, ore, bar, and wire. Working operations and thermal treatments transform cast ingot into a completely recrystallized or severely fragmented structure, characteristic for each alloy and product, which influences strength, resistance to corrosion, and other properties. 2, record 2, English, - wrought%20aluminum%20alloy
