LEARN FROM THE EXPERTS
Metal additive manufacturing is a young industry. We realize that engineers, managers, and buyers are still coming up to speed on how and when to leverage metal 3D printing. This page is intended to further your knowledge of metal additive manufacturing (specifically direct metal laser sintering), no matter your current level of expertise.
1.
INTRODUCTION (BEGINNER)
The articles linked below will give you the basics on the three major methods of metal additive manufacturing and provide a very thorough explanation of direct metal laser sintering that will take you from zero to a solid understanding.
BEGINNER
What is metal
additive manufacturing?
BEGINNER
Direct metal laser sintering - What it is + how it works.
2.
INTERMEDIATE
The two articles linked below are intended for those who have a basic understanding, but lack some of the finer details that really round out their ability to talk about metal printed parts. Here you will see many examples of parts that use direct metal laser sintering and fully understand what is possible with the technology.
