In the field of metal 3D printing, the most widely used is the SLS selective laser sintering technology, SLM selective laser melting technology, EBM electron beam melting technology, LENS near-net-type laser manufacturing technology … whether it is a metal powder is sintered together with the adhesive, or metal powder by hot source melt into liquid “weld” together, these technologies have their own strengths, to meet the various aspects of the finished part geometry and mechanical properties plus work requirements.
The liquid metal itself, a metal powder or solid form, except that the ultra-fine powder of metal nano-uniformly distributed in an “ink” manipulation its “floating” as “liquid”, and then through the high-speed 3D printing technology to print out at temperatures up to 300 degrees to 500 degrees in the high temperature environment, the very fine metal powders to produce another “glue” the situation at a high temperature, so that the printed products having a smooth surface.
HW NANO manufacturing ultrafine nano metal powder such as nano stainless steel 316l powder, nano-nickel powder, nano tungsten powder, nano-titanium alloy, etc. can be used for 3D printing,currently used nano scale stainless steel 316l powder printed effect very well.
