- SLM® machines offer increased freedom of geometry for complex, fast and repeatable builds. Explore our family of robust selective laser melting systems, software solutions and services to make you successful with metal additive manufacturing.
SLM Solutions provides a wide range of suitable materials for the aerospace industry, including nickel superalloys (IN719, IN625 and HX), titanium and aluminum alloys, which meet the stringent requirements of aircraft engine manufacturers for metallographic and mechanical properties.
Embracing 3D printing from the early days, aircraft engine manufacturers capitalized on the benefits of producing highly-complex, low volume components to reduce the cost of jet engine production, a major factor in aircraft operating costs. The innovation of this sector has demonstrated the ability to design intricate parts for improved functionality, rather than for manufacturability, and made additive manufacturing a must have for leading aerospace and defense manufacturers. The optimized topology of these builds allows for parts to maintain their same strength and load requirements while significantly reducing weight and playing a role in a key goal of the aerospace industry - to improve fuel efficiency.
Metal additive manufacturing is set to revolutionize the automotive market - from high-performance racing cars to production vehicles, the benefits of design freedom and maximized functionality are increasing the demand for this disruptive technology. From engine and transmission components to chassis parts and even tire mold segments, selective laser melting reduces development time, eliminates the need for tooling, and opens up new possibilities for performance enhancements. Lightweight components not only save on fuel-efficiency, but can also lower inventory and handling costs in the supply chain.
As the first quad-laser system on the market, the SLM®500 serves as the flagship additive manufacturing system for high volume metal additive manufacturing to ensure operator safety and lower overall operational costs. Likewise, the integrated SLM® Build Processor and open software architecture offer the freedom of controlling system parameters to optimize and meet strict production needs. Featuring a 500 x 280 x 365 mm build chamber and configurable with two or four overlapping lasers with power ratings from 800 to a full 2800 Watts, the SLM®500 offers a system tailored to best meet your specific industrial metal 3D printing requirements. Quad laser optics can increase build rates by 90% over twin laser configurations. Gas flow is essential to removing soot from the process chamber, especially for long-duration builds and the optimized gas flow on all systems produces complex components with the highest density and top surface quality.
Selective laser melting allows you to achieve greater component quality in the high-volume production of complex geometries produced with metal additive manufacturing.
Selective laser melting is increasingly used in the tooling industry, where benefits are being realized through the production of complete tools or tooling inserts with a new-found freedom of design afforded through SLM. One main area of application is through the integration of conformal cooling channels that make is possible to shorten cycle times, minimize stress loads in the components to be produced and extend the tool life.
Medical device manufacturers are increasingly adopting Selective Laser Melting technology for the production of a wide range of medical and dental parts. This includes the production of functional prototypes; serial production of surgical implants, instruments and equipment components; and mass customization, i.e., the production of patient-specific implants and prostheses on a large scale.
Selective laser melting machines from SLM Solutions feature multi-laser options, bi-directional recoating and closed-loop powder handling to achieve best-in-class safety and increased build speeds for complex and completely dense metal parts. Optimal paired with SLM Solutions’ software, powder and quality assurance products, our technology opens new geometric freedoms that can enable lightweight construction, integrate internal cooling channels or decrease time to market.

I'm glad that we as a species are getting closer to the designs of kryptonians
Technically, we created the Kyptonians, so it would make sense in a way
i cant tell if im hyped because of the technology that i already knew existed or because of the way this guy talks about it
we say.... BOTH! :D
"Don't have to pay 6 figure salary for a specialist, just pay an average guy" That right there is a recipe for disaster.
That's why USA is failing, moving to the third world.
I've taught an average guy to use these machines. Year in he's doing well
"You have five minutes, you can only do one take, and you are on now. GO."
That is, in fact, exactly what happened :D
VERY VERY GENIUS BRO
Look at this cool part. I have no clue what it does but isn’t it cool?
Maybe a company where you send via email what you want, they 3d print it & send it to you? Saves your kidneys🤷♂️
Edit: At most, you save your heart, cuz a heart is 1 Million $
That complex part is likely some sort of passive cooling radiator like you see mounted on the ISS space station. All of that structure looked like tubing to me.
i wonder if you can print heatsinks with this!
there is the cost vs. the standby workhorse of casting the same materials. I do like this technology but not willing to invest in high end AM production esp in this tech's infancy. I think many will agree that AM holds promise but traditional processes esp in automated applications are getting cheaper every year. I can't see this replacing casting and SM for quite a long time, if at all. maybe as supplementive, low volume prototyping
those are supports

Hi... I want to open 3d printing shop especially for automobile spare parts and I am new in AM. So can you help me by providing information
Thank you
Start by starting! Mastering the tools will be the first step to getting where you can really go --- design will be the next. I say that because the design can be based on the manufacturing process for greatest efficiency -- often, the other way around can get hectic. Metal machines like this one will run in the $2M range, while you can get started in FDM learning for as little as $200, and have a professional machine like the Funmat for end-use automotive parts for around $7500. Start now, though, as the industry is taking off!
"dont pay someone 6 figures, low ball that m'fer." BOSS: how TF did you crash a half million dollar printer!?
I'm wondering whether the shear strength of 3d printed producted wouldn't be comprised. Maybe the heat at which its solidified mitigates that though.
No, the metal comes out extremely brittle
There have been studies (or at least one that I have read) that analyzed the effects of SLM on Inconel specifically. What I remember taking away is that there are high concentrations of niobium at the intercellular grain boundaries essentially taking the niobium out of solution. However, the study concluded that by annealing and ageing, the niobium can be brought back into solution essentially restoring the strength properties of Inconel after SLM. I am not sure if similar studies have been conducted for the other SLM capable metals like Ti but at least for Inconel this condition can be circumvented with a bit more work.
"yeah, look at this, I don't know what it is, i'm sure It has some function" hmmm sei não ein seu moço 🤔 você não me passou muita confiança 😂 .
the technology is going to get cheaper and bigger over time.
This Guy's sound similar to apparently boy
wow))
3:17s genetiv? Is that some kind of software or company
You can do this using only stress testing software which many 3d modelling applications have built in. You start by making a metal block in CAD and assigning the points that need to be attached and then stress testing it for the relevant force You can then choose only the parts of the block that are under the most stress (as these parts support the most weight) and then delete all the other parts to leave a complex almost organic computer generated structure. You'll have to find the right kind of CAD and analysis software
A function of software -- multiple options :)
Genetive is a term from grammar. From wikipedia:
In grammar, the genitive case (abbreviated gen), also called the second case, is the grammatical case that marks a word, usually a noun, as modifying another word, also usually a noun-thus, indicating an attributive relationship of one noun to the other noun
Now add a 3d scanner and u can copy all parts perfectly. Man if I had money this would def be a money maker, here in thirt world zone u need to order ur part online from the usa china or europe before it reaches here a next thing already broke. Lot of machinery downtime, cars that are parked for months waiting for spares. With this u scan the part and print a new one.
Since when sintering became 3D printing?
There are many, many types of 3D printing, and sintering is one type, but this is actually Selective Laser Melting -- SLM. SLS is Selective Laser Sintering, used for polymers and metals for many years now -- just a different type of printing :)
that thing is gonna print alien guns in the us lol
interesting material.....but the tone of his voice, id rather do sand casting than keep on listening
$500K-$1M OMG
I now know what I'll be doing with my LOTTO winnings should I ever win.
hmm what if I bring down the price just with a comment,
Aluminium fine powder can be melted with a laser tube machine which costs like 2k euro so with a bit of improvisation and imagination such 3d printer can be done with 4k euro.
@@domino6061 agree but this is so complicated than it looks
@@NabiL_Lam not for me
how much Helium did u smoke to get that voice? sorry I couldn't hold it, lol
Scary thought: People can make guns with this
Or they can buy one on the street for $200
@@kennyg1358 but they could make any gun they wanted, like an AR. Tbh i think it would be quite interesting to see something like that.
It's not the guns to be afraid of, but the people's minds....
@@VisionMiner true
this vi is a bit of a joke tbh. the demonstrator should be more aware of the use of the printed parts he is taslking about. he should give more examples of the different metals that can be 3D printed instead of saying there are many metals that can be printed and then mentioning only 3. lastly sounding like a strangled screeching cook is really off putting. maybe just tone down his presentation style.
There's plenty of material out there, with a quick google search :) Check out Velo3D, SLM, ExOne, and others -- this was really just a short inspirational video :)
worst promoter ever.. Actually don't pay any body..! Do it all by your self and lets see what you are expert in other than trash talk.
LOL -- this was done for free, in order to inform and inspire. We don't even sell those machines currently, lol!
It bothers me that this salesman DOESN'T want to know what
these designs are for!
We don't sell their products, so this is not a sales pitch... but it is amazing tech!
It really showed when he was talking about topology optimization.
