METAL ADDITIVE LAYER MANUFACTURING – ALM
PRESENTATION
In 2008, after more than 10 years’ experience in metal sintering, INITIAL-PRODWAYS acquired a new generation of additive manufacturing, known as direct metal laser sintering (DMLS®), to produce metal parts or mold cavities. 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. We have one of the highest production capacities in Europe for improved reactivity. Through the use of nitrogen and argon-based technologies, all types of material can be used.
