Manufactura aditiva en materiales metálicos por proceso SLM.

Abstract

Additive manufacturing or 3D printing (AM), is currently revolutionizing the world of industries for its diverse applications, and its ability to produce objects with complex geometries from the combination of various materials, and different processes. among those processes is the selective laser melting (SLM) technology, which consists of a powder base and an energy source that processes the powder in a delimited areas creating a part. This article provides an overview of what additive manufacturing (AM) is, its advantages, its applications in major industries, and the processes related to metallic materials, especially selective laser melting (SLM) technology.
