What is SLM 3D printing of custom stem/adapter bodies?

SLM 3D printing of custom stem/adapter bodies capability for titanium components

Metal additive manufacturing capability for SLM 3D printing of custom stem/adapter bodies, with powder traceability, parameter development, and post-processing integration.

Engineering Parameters & Capabilities

Selective Laser Melting (SLM/DMLS) builds titanium components layer-by-layer from metal powder using a fiber laser. Internal lattice structures, conformal cooling channels, and organic geometries are achievable that are unattainable with conventional manufacturing.

Parameter Specification
Technology Laser powder bed fusion (LPBF/SLM/DMLS)
Min Feature 0.2 mm wall / 0.05 mm layer height
Porosity < 0.5% as-built; < 0.01% after HIP
Properties ≥ 98% of wrought with proper heat treatment

Engineering Capabilities & Limits

Metal additive manufacturing capability for SLM 3D printing of custom stem/adapter bodies, with powder traceability, parameter development, and post-processing integration.

Hole Types Supported

Conformal cooling channels Lattice structures (diamond, gyroid) Organic geometries

Heat Control Measures

Build chamber inerted with argon to < 1000 ppm O₂. Build plate preheated to 200°C to reduce thermal gradients between layers.

Flatness & Stress Relief

Stress relief annealing (540°C / 2 hr) before substrate removal. HIP for critical aerospace/medical components to eliminate internal porosity.
