SPECIFICATIONS OF POWDER BED FUSION (PBF) METAL 3D PRINTER (DMLS/SLM) QTY = 01 NO.

1. Description:
Powder Bed Fusion (PBF) 3D printing technology spawns products with
precision. This 3D printing technique enables the manufacturing of a vast
Powder Bed Fusion array of geometrically complex products using a heat source, mainly laser or
a. (PBF) electron beams, to fuse powder particles layer-by-layer, therefore forming a
solid part. Manufacturers can benefit from substantial freedom of design
considering that PBF presents several viable technologies and materials.
The same technical principle is used to produce Selective Laser Melting
(SLM) and Direct Metal Laser Sintering (DMLS) parts, but is exclusively used
Selective Laser to produce metal parts. SLM achieves a full melt of the powder so that single-
Melting (SLM) & component metals, such as aluminum, can be used to create light, strong
b. Direct Metal Laser spare parts and prototypes. DMLS sinters the powders and is restricted to
Sintering (DMLS) alloys, including titanium-based alloys. These methods require added support
to compensate for the high residual stress and to limit the occurrence of
distortion. Applications include production of parts, prototypes, etc.
2. Purpose:
For producing Metal parts & prototypes based on F3 (Form, fit & Function) strategy
