Metal Additive Manufacturing enables the efficient production of parts which would otherwise be difficult or impossible to manufacture using conventional means. First developed in the 1990’s, machines employing Selective Laser Sintering (SLS) and related additive processes can now produce complex parts rapidly, and with a high level of precision and quality. Such parts may approach similar levels of density and strength as wrought metal, but there remain many difficulties in the step from ‘art to part’. Achieving right-first-time printing, consistent quality and repeatability across a wide range of parts is a significant challenge, and even multi-million dollar SLS machines mayRead More…
