Protolabs Metal 3D Printing Meets Demanding Part Requirements
Rapid 2019: Protolabs’ direct metal laser sintering (DMLS) process is designed for demanding applications.
Protolabs’ direct metal laser sintering (DMLS) process is designed for demanding applications. Metal 3D printing unlocks a range of design possibilities that would otherwise be unachievable through traditional manufacturing processes, the company says.
In addition to 3D printing, the company now offers several secondary operations to address the need for process validation, material traceability, inspection reporting, heat treat cycles, quality certifications and several post-build processes.
