3D Printing & Additive
DMLS / SLM (Metal)
Source DMLS / SLM (Metal) components through FERRASTACK's audited contract manufacturing network in India.
DMLS and SLM build dense metal parts with lattices, internal channels, topology-optimized forms, and consolidated geometry for aerospace, tooling, medical, and thermal systems.
- Typical materials
- Common powder alloys include stainless and tool steels, aluminium, titanium, cobalt-chrome, and nickel alloys supported by the selected platform.
- Scale & complexity
- The route suits high-value complex parts, with build envelope, support access, thermal stress, powder removal, and downstream machining central to design.
- Tolerance & finishing
- Orientation, supports, distortion, down-skin texture, internal surfaces, heat treatment, HIP if specified, machining stock, and polishing affect final condition.
- Quality requirements
- Buyer plans may require powder and build traceability, parameter records, witness specimens, density or NDT checks, dimensional reports, and post-process records.
- Why source with FERRASTACK
- FERRASTACK assesses Indian metal-additive sources for machine and alloy compatibility, controlled powder handling, validation, machining, and inspection.
