Direct metal printing (DMP), also known as laser-based powder bed fusion (LPBF), is an additive manufacturing technology that builds high quality, complex, metal parts from 3D CAD data.
In the machine, a high precision laser is directed to metal powder particles to selectively build up thin, horizontal metal layers on after another. This cutting edge technology allows for the production of metal parts with challenging geometries, not possible using traditional subtractive or casting technologies.
