METAL ADDITIVE LAYER MANUFACTURING WITH ALM, DESIGN DIFFERENTLY, PRODUCE DIFFERENTLY AND STAY ONE STEP AHEAD OF THE COMPETITION Perfect for made-to-order manufacturing or a series of complex parts, direct metal laser sintering is a key benefit when looking to conquer new markets. Using 3D files, your model is reproduced by stacking layers of metal powder sintered under the action of a laser. These layers can be up to 20-microns in depth, providing a highly detailed resolution. An essential complement to standard machining, metal additive layer manufacturing (ALM) enables production of one-piece, complex metallic parts with geometries which cannot be manufactured otherwise (control, transfer of fluids, etc.). This technology, resulting from rapid prototyping, offers a competitive alternative to standard manufacturing processes. At present, there is a wide range of materials available, which offers more freedom during the design phase. APPLICATIONS Validation of shapes before series production Validation of process Metallurgical tests Personalized production Choice of high performance alloys with technical implementation. OUR ASSETS Capacity to create parts with both external and internal complexity Ability to manufacture functional parts Possibility of placing a logo, or marking, directly on the part for traceability purposes Conformal Cooling : Temperature control to remain as close to the design as possible. Geometric control
