Selective Laser Melting (SLM)
Selective Laser Melting (SLM) can 3D print metal parts with slightly rough surfaces, good heat resistance, high strength, and strong mechanical properties. SLM 3D printing is ideal for hollowed-out parts, heavy-load bearing parts, and functional structural parts with complex shapes and high strength requirements.
