Metal 3D printing, also known as metal additive manufacturing, is an advanced technology that creates three-dimensional objects by layering metal materials.

Unlike traditional manufacturing methods that involve subtracting material, metal 3D printing builds up objects layer by layer, enabling the production of intricate and complex geometrics.

In this process, various types of metal alloys, including but not limited to stainless steel, aluminium, titanium, Inconel, and cobalt-chrome. The choice of metal depends on the specific application and the desired properties of the final product.

There are different metal 3D printing technologies, including

• Selective laser melting(SLM)
• Direct Metal Laser Sintering (DHLS)

Metals using SLM (selective laser melting) and DHLS (direct metal laser sintering) process. A very fine metal powder is melted with a laser to produce your design layer by layer. After finalizing your design, remove any support structures and carry out necessary finishing. Any remaining powder is recycled for future model use.

3D Printing in Metals via DMLS is an Additive Manufacturing process which can workout more cost effective than traditional 'subtractive' processes. This is especially true with complex or intricate designs which would present a challenge to traditional manufacture.

What is an Atomizer in 3D Printing?

An atomizer is a component in certain types of 3D printers that utilizes ultrasonic vibrations to turn the printing material into a very fine mist or aerosol before depositing it onto the print bed.

How Atomizer 3D Printers Work

3D printers with atomizers use a specialized print head design. Rather than heating and pushing filament through an extruder nozzle like fused deposition modelling (FDM), the print material in an atomizer system is supply as liquid polymer solution.

The atomizer itself comprises a small nozzle attached to an ultrasonic transducer vibrating at sky-high frequencies. As the solution flows through, the ultrasonic energy turns it into a cloud of microscopic droplets. This mist gets sprayed onto the print bed in precise patterns to build up the object layer by layer.

Once deposited, the droplets rapidly dry and cure via UV light directed at the print area, solidifying each layer. This process based on inkjet-style dot printing allows tiny droplet sizes under 20 microns, enabling high part details.
