Wednesday, May 7, 2008 12:00PM EDT

Direct Metal Laser Sintering (DMLS) is an additive technology that can turn 3-D CAD designs with complex geometries into production-quality metal parts in hours.

DMLS is an additive technology that fabricates parts by sintering very fine layers of metal powders (layer-by-layer) from the bottom up. It presents unparalleled advantages because it eliminates tooling, makes parts with complex internal and external geometries in a single operation, and can produce multiple parts at the same time.

Applications are wide ranging and include inserts for plastic injection molding and die casting, as well as direct parts for a variety of applications and industries including aerospace, automotive, medical, electronics and many others.

During this webinar, our experts will share how DMLS is shattering the traditional limitations of part design, rapid prototyping, and manufacturing.

You will learn:

  • How DMLS works
  • How it has been successfully employed for rapid prototyping and rapid manufacturing
  • What are the capabilities and limitations of DMLS
  • What alloys are available to use
  • What advances are on the horizon
  • Live Audience Question & Answer Session
