LASER 3D PRINTING METALS

3D LASER PRINTING METAL

Not long ago printing solid 3D objects seemed like science fiction. Until recently it still was and then it was reality but very expensive with specialised powders.
Now using InssTek 3D printers provided by TLM you can print complex metal parts in 3D direct from your CAD software using inexpensive commercially available powders. Not only that, with axis control and a tilting table no jigging is required the CAD CAM dream now a reality.
