Metal 3D printing
From time to time information about new innovations in the field of 3D printing circulate the world. Among methods of producing semi-finished or finished parts is laser melting involving the use of a laser beam to fuse metallic powders together to form functional 3-dimensional parts.
One of the advantages of this technology is the possibility of fasr prototyping or production of pieces that have complex shapes and can not be produced with conventional methods the cost is simply too high. The concern is also to reduce wastage, shortening the production process and reducing the quantity of tools needed during the production process.
