🌟 Direct Metal Laser Sintering (#DMLS) uses metal powder to create highly detailed and complex parts with excellent precision. The success of your DMLS project largely depends on the quality of your 3D CAD model design. Consider hollow parts and escape holes, distances between features, support structures, tolerances, and size limitations. 📰 The following article is a guide containing essential design tips to optimise your design for direct metal laser sintering: https://zurl.co/8wga 🌐 Let Xometry manufacture your metal parts.

We’ve recently talked with Mario Boaglio, CEO at Sferasol company, to find out how Sferasol Energy's innovative spherical solar thermal collector is reshaping the Green Economy market in collaboration with Xometry. Through CNC turning and milling in small to medium batches, Xometry ensured both quality and cost-effectiveness in producing steel parts. Discover our latest case study at https://lnkd.in/ew7rjXwn

🔧 What is the difference between 3D printing and additive manufacturing in terms of creation processes? #3Dprinting typically refers to consumer-grade, desktop-sized machines that create objects by depositing material layer by layer. It's commonly used for rapid prototyping and hobbyist projects. ✅ Additive manufacturing, on the other hand, encompasses a broader range of techniques, including industrial-scale processes like laser sintering and electron beam melting. It's used for manufacturing functional, end-use parts in industries like aerospace and healthcare. 📰 Explore applications of #additivemanufacturing: https://zurl.co/XU0L 🌐 Xometry offers additive manufacturing services online.

🚗 In the #automotive industry, #3Dprinting can be applied in serial #manufacturing or assemblies of various parts. An assembly of five or six automotive parts can be combined in a single printed part, saving assembly time and cost even if the individual part might be more expensive. This can also help decrease weight and improve fuel efficiency. 📰 Explore more on #additivemanufacturing in industrial applications: https://zurl.co/W3ln 🌐 Xometry offers 3D printing services online.

🔍Optimising part geometry contributes to the strength of 3D-printed parts. Fillets or chamfers provide a strong foundation for thinner sections in 3D parts. They prevent the nozzles from knocking off delicate parts from the print. Ribs and gussets are thin extrusions that protrude perpendicularly from a wall or plane. They provide support and increase the strength of the part. 📰 Find out more on our website: https://zurl.co/nKLc 🌐 Xometry offers #3Dprinting and other #manufacturing services online.

🔄 Compression #moulding has distinct advantages over #injectionmoulding. It enables the creation of composite panels using SMC and BMC, unlike injection moulding which cannot produce composite parts. Compression moulds are also less expensive as they don't require high internal pressure resistance, only a compression force from above. 📰 Read the comprehensive comparison between these two #manufacturing processes: https://zurl.co/O3PI 🌐 Xometry offers compression moulding services online.
