The CAD model is developed to fulfill specific geometric and functional requirements. It is then optimized for the LMM process, including part orientation, to maximize print quality and production efficiency.
A light source selectively cures the photoreactive binder within the feedstock, layer by layer, embedding the metal powder to form the desired 3D structure. This stage results in the creation of a so-called green part.
The green parts undergo a thermal or chemical debinding process in a specialized furnace, where the polymer binder is removed, leaving behind a porous brown part composed of metal powder.
The brown part is subjected to high-temperature sintering in a furnace, causing the metal powder to fuse into a fully dense, solid component with its final mechanical properties.
Depending on the application, additional post-processing steps such as machining, polishing, or surface treatments may be applied to enhance dimensional accuracy and surface quality.
