DMLS parts offer mechanical properties comparable or even higher to those of cast material, with higher relative density and lower porosity. They have high tensile strength, wear resistance, and thermal stability, depending on the selected material.
DMLS parts typically achieve tolerances of ±0.1 mm to ±0.3 mm, but accuracy can vary based on part geometry and post-processing requirements.
- Minimum Wall Thickness: Generally 0.5 mm to 1 mm, depending on the material.
- Support Structures: Required for overhangs and complex geometries but can be minimized with optimized designs.
- Post-Processing: Heat treatment, machining, and surface finishing may be necessary to achieve final specifications.
DMLS produces fully dense, high-strength metal parts, unlike polymer-based additive technologies. Compared to traditional machining, it allows for the creation of intricate geometries without the need for extensive tooling.
