How Does 3D Metal Printing Work?
Whilst 3D metal printing can be a difficult process to understand if it is your first time with the process, it can be beneficial to know the basics in order to know more about your products and where they come from. Therefore, we have broken down some of the basic things for you to be aware of right here.
You may have heard some common Acronyms for the 3d Metal Printing or Powder Bed Fusion process like SLM (Selective laser Melting) or DMLS (Direct Metal Laser Sintering), but in essence the processes are the same with each technology company making a variety of tweaks to the technology, for different outcomes and improvements. These processes can melt many different types of metal powders together in a laminar way, fully melting the layers of the respective metal material together with a laser temperature and focus and speed that is designed for that specific alloy, this is carried out in an inert build chamber environment to minimize oxygen and therefore inhibit porosity and enhance strength and enable detailed prints.
We use a Powder Bed Fusion or DMLS system called DMP (Direct Metal Printing) a 3D Systems Technology, as it creates a lower chamber oxygen concentration leading to best possible industry leading mechanical characteristics.
The process can be broken down into 4 simple steps.
Firstly, in order to counteract any oxidisation of the metals that may occur, the chamber in which the part will be built is filled with an inert gas. We then spread a thin layer of the metal powder over a platform, which is then melted by a high-power laser moving cross-sectionally, ultimately fusing the particles and creating the first layer. Then, the process repeats, with each layer being built on until the part is fully realised. Finally, the 3D printed metal parts will be encased in the metal powder until they cool to room temperature, at which point the unmelted excess powder is removed and the parts will be sent off for use or further processing. The type of metal used will vary depending on the desired part.
Why Choose 3D Metal Printing From Amiga Engineering
Having worked with businesses and organisations in aerospace, medicine, defence, and many other sectors of the economy, we know exactly what it takes to tailor our products and services to the specific needs and preferences of individual customers. Just as no two clients are exactly the same, so no two solutions are exactly the same – and we work closely with our customers to gain a comprehensive understanding of exactly what it is they’re looking for, before setting to work with the task of coming up with the designs that meet their individual needs.
Then, we use some of the most specialist equipment for metal 3D printing in Australia to turn these designs into realities. Using sophisticated additive manufacturing processes, we’re able to create complex, lightweight designs that nonetheless maintain their strength and integrity, making our products highly versatile and perfect for a wide range of practical applications. Furthermore, because we only ever use the very best materials available, our products are renowned for their superior longevity, meaning our customers can always be sure that they’ll be reaping the rewards of their new investments not only in the short term, but for many years to come also.

Metal 3D printing brings with it a host of benefits, such as precision, accuracy, mechanical strength and complexity often achieving Complexity and functionality that cannot be achieved via a traditional processes’ like CNC. However, it is important to ensure that you choose the correct type of metal for your part. There are a number of options, such as:
- 17-4 PH SS
- Stainless steel 316L
- Ni718 (Inconel)
- Ti6Al4v (Titanium)
- AlSi10Mg (Aluminium)
- CFCR (Cobalt Chromium)
- H13 (High Carbon Tool Steel)
If you are unsure which metal you would like/need for your 3D printing metal parts, our team will be on hand to walk you through the best options available to you and ensure you purchase the correct solution.
