Selective Laser Melting Additive Manufacturing Equipment

Widely applied to 3D printing in footwear mold, aerospace, automotive and other industries.

1. Molding Industry

The application of 3D printing in the molding industry shortens mold lead time and cuts manufacturing costs. Improved mold design expands the diversity and functionality of end products, such as conformal water-cooling structures and footwear molds.

2. Automotive Industry

Additive manufacturing is widely adopted in the automotive sector for five major scenarios: structural optimization, R&D prototyping, low-volume production, customized components and spare parts manufacturing.

Optimized structural design significantly reduces vehicle weight and fuel consumption. R&D prototyping avoids mold fabrication and shortens vehicle development cycles. Digital manufacturing can be realized for batch production without tooling and fixtures. Customized products can be designed according to personalized client demands, with multiple parts produced in a single printing run. On-demand production of spare parts resolves supply uncertainties and cuts occupation of capital, warehouse space and production capacity.

3. Aerospace and Other Industries

Metal 3D printing brings innovative manufacturing approaches to aerospace manufacturing. It boasts prominent advantages in manufacturing complex structures, lightweight components and new-material parts. Process innovation also inspires new design concepts for aerospace products.
