Direct Metal Laser Sintering Printing
Description:
Direct Metal Laser
Sintering (DMLS) was developed jointly by Rapid Product Innovations (RPI) and
EOS GmbH, starting in 1994, as the first commercial rapid prototyping method to
produce metal parts in a single process. With DMLS, metal powder (20 micron
diameter), free of binder or fluxing agent, is completely melted by the
scanning of a high power laser beam to build the part with properties of the
original material. Eliminating the polymer binder avoids the burn-off and
infiltration steps, and produces a 95% dense steel part compared to roughly 70%
density with Selective Laser Sintering (SLS). An additional benefit of the DMLS
process compared to SLS is higher detail resolution due to the use of thinner
layers, enabled by a smaller powder diameter. This capability allows for more
intricate part shapes. Material options that are currently offered include
alloy steel, stainless steel, tool steel, aluminum, bronze, cobalt-chrome, and
titanium. In addition to functional prototypes, DMLS is often used to produce
rapid tooling, medical implants, and aerospace parts for high heat
applications.
The DMLS process can be performed by two different methods, powder deposition
and powder bed, which differ in the way each layer of powder is applied. In the
powder deposition method, the metal powder is contained in a hopper that melts
the powder and deposits a thin layer onto the build platform. In the powder bed
method (shown below), the powder dispenser piston raises the powder supply and
then a recoater arm distributes a layer of powder onto the powder bed. A laser
then sinters the layer of powder metal. In both methods, after a layer is built
the build piston lowers the build platform and the next layer of powder is
applied. The powder deposition method offers the advantage of using more than
one material, each in its own hopper. The powder bed method is limited to only
one material but offers faster build speeds.
