About Project

Direct metal laser sintering (DMLS) is an industrial 3D printing process that builds fully functional metal prototypes and production parts in 7 days or less. A range of metals produces final parts that can be used for end-use applications.

For engineers, this aspect of DMLS means greater freedom to create complex parts (with overhanging features, for example) and lattice structures.

A lattice structure is a space-filling unit cell that can be tessellated along any axis with no gaps between cells. These structures are an emerging solution to weight, energy and advanced manufacturing time reduction.

Solution

• Step 1: Input the 3D model into the Automatic Lattice Generator tool and it automatically adds a lattice structure after evaluating the forces and gives you a structural evaluation of your model.
• Step 2: Print the model with the DMLS 3D Printing Technology.
