What Is Direct Metal Laser Sintering (DMLS)?

Direct Metal Laser Sintering (DMLS) is an advanced laser-based additive manufacturing process used to produce high-performance metal parts. Through the use of fine metal powders, DMLS fuses layers together, creating strong and precise components with complex geometries. This process allows for efficient production of metal parts with minimal material waste.

Laser-Based Additive Manufacturing

DMLS uses high-powered lasers to sinter metal powder into solid parts.

Layer-by-Layer Construction

Metal powder is fused one layer at a time, enabling the creation of intricate designs.

Near-Fully Dense Metal Components

DMLS produces parts with high strength and density, suitable for demanding applications.

DMLS Tolerances, Resolution & Build Sizes

Design Parameter

Especificação

Espessura mínima da parede

Metals: 0.5 mm (for functional strength and stability)

 

Plásticos: 1.0 mm (required to prevent warping or structural issues)

Feature Size Limits

Smallest features: 0.2 mm for precise detail and geometry.

 

Larger features require careful balancing to ensure strength and structural integrity.

Support Structure Considerations

Use minimal support structures to reduce post-processing efforts. Ensure structures are easy to remove without damaging the part.

 

Supports must be designed to avoid internal stresses and support complex geometries.

Orientation for Strength & Accuracy

Parts should be oriented to optimize mechanical properties in critical load-bearing areas.

 

Maximize strength by aligning with the build direction.

Design Tips to Reduce Cost

Minimize the need for support structures by designing parts with self-supporting geometries.

 

Keep geometries simple and avoid overly intricate features unless required for functionality.

Hole Sizes & Depth

Avoid excessively small holes (min. 0.2 mm) and ensure sufficient depth for chip removal.

Internal Geometries

Complex internal channels, like cooling channels, can be created but should have a minimum width of 0.5 mm.

Part Consolidation

Consider consolidating multiple components into a single part to reduce material waste and cost.

Surface Finishing & As-Printed Quality for DMLS Parts

Em Precisão Yicen, we provide a range of surface finishing options to enhance the functionality, durability, and appearance of your Direct Metal Laser Sintering (DMLS) parts. Whether you need the raw, as-printed finish or a polished cosmetic appearance, we ensure each part meets the highest standards of quality and performance.

As-Printed (Laser Sintered)

The default finish directly from the DMLS process, ideal for functional parts with a slightly rough surface texture. This finish provides the strongest part integrity without additional treatments.

Bead Blasted (Standard)

This process creates a smooth, matte finish using abrasive media, perfect for applications that require an improved aesthetic with uniform surface texture. It enhances the part’s surface while retaining strength.

Machined Surfaces

For parts that require extra precision, our machining process can further refine surface details, providing a high degree of smoothness and dimensional accuracy for tight tolerance applications.

Polished / Cosmetic Finishing

Achieve a glossy, mirror-like finish suitable for decorative or high-visibility parts. Polishing removes any surface imperfections, providing a smooth, aesthetically pleasing result ideal for consumer-facing applications.

Capacidades de garantia de qualidade e inspeção

Em Precisão Yicen, we ensure that each part meets the highest standards of quality through rigorous inspection and testing. Our commitment to precision is backed by our compliance with ISO 9001:2015, AS9100De ISO 13485 standards, ensuring reliability and consistency at every stage of production.

Precisão dimensional

Using advanced CMM (Coordinate Measuring Machines), digital micrometers, and optical measurement systems, we inspect all critical features of your parts with micrometer-level precision. This guarantees that each part meets its specified dimensions and tolerances, ensuring optimal functionality and fit.

Visual Inspection

Our experienced technicians visually inspect each component to check for surface defects, burrs, or any other imperfections that could affect the quality and performance of the part. This additional layer of inspection ensures that parts are free from cosmetic and functional flaws.

Mechanical Testing (If Required)

For components that require additional validation, we offer mechanical testing to verify strength, durability, and other material properties. This can include tensile testing, hardness testing, and more, depending on the specific requirements of your parts.

Material Traceability

Every part produced at Yicen Precision is accompanied by complete material traceability. We provide material certificates (MTRs), First Article Inspection (FAI) reports, and CMM data sheets to ensure full transparency in the manufacturing process, giving you confidence in the quality and source of your materials.
