Direct Manufacturing promises a wide variety of metal additive manufacturing applications.
This 14-page report is a guide to best practices when designing 3D models for metal 3D prints such as:
i. Minimizing and optimizing necessary support structures
ii. Maximizing the natural support of the atomized metal powder that surrounds the printed component
Topics covered include:
- Introduction to metal 3D printing: DMLS, EBM, extrusion and cold spray
- Metal materials: Atomization, combining metal powders
- How design affects performance: Angles, self-supporting features, no access features
- Post processing for DMLS parts: Stress relief, secondary heat treatments, finishing.
