As SLM 3D Print can directly print metal functional parts, so it has a huge application value and market potential, this technology has been paid much attention.Then,do you know currently which industries use SLM 3D print technology?
Let me explain to you one by one.
In fact, the current consumer level 3D Print market has become saturated, it is difficult to have a breakthrough .This means that many large 3D Print companies will focus on fast-growing areas, such as SLM 3D Print. Today, SLM technology has become the fastest growing 3D printing technology, and it is widely used in daily industries. Specifically, there are following industries:
1. Industrial field
At present, many industrial departments have already used SLM 3D Printers as their daily machines, almost all of them use 3D Print technology to manufacture prototypes and produce models. Meanwhile, 3D Printer is also use to print small parts and then assemble together when they need to produce big part.Compared with the traditional manufacturing processes, 3D Print technology can shorten time. reduce costs as well as make greater production.
2. Medical field
SLM 3D Print can be said to be very common in the medical field , especially in dentistry. Unlike other surgeries, SLM 3D Print is often used to print dental implants. The greatest benefit of using 3D Print technology is customization, doctors can design the implants based on patients’ different situations.Thus, patients’pain can be reduced , it is also less troublesome after surgeries.
3. Jewelry field
At present, many jewelry manufacturers are renovating resin 3D Printing and wax mold manufacturing to SLM 3D Printing. With the continuous improvement of people's living standards, the requirements for jewelry is also higher.People no longer like the common jewelry in the market , but want to have a unique customized jewelry.Therefore, customization but not using mould to mass production will be a trend in the jewelry industry, then SLM 3D Print will play a very important role.
4. Aerospace field
Many of the world's major powers have already begun to use SLM 3D Print technology to achieve the development of defense, aerospace and other fields. GE has built the world's first 3D Print factory in Italy which can print parts for aircraft jet engines, it totally proves the ability of SLM 3D Print.
5. Automotive field
Using SLM 3D Print in automotive industry is not so long, but it has a huge potential and grows fast. Ar present, BMW, Audi and other well-known car manufacturers are carefully studying how to use SLM 3D Print technology to innovate the production.
In addition to these listed areas, SLM 3D Print has more or less impact on many other areas, but SLM 3D Print needs to overcome many hurdles in order to achieve real popularity. Perhaps in the near future, we can see the greater development of this technology.
