SLM TECHNOLOGY By employing selective laser melting (SLM) of metals, moulds, dies and individual parts can be produced in 100 % solid metal from CAD data. By depositing layer after layer in steps of only 50 mum, a Model MCP RealizerSLM system can produce fully functional metal parts with any geometry or complexity in a single process. As a result, SLM technology is opening up new perspectives for medical implants.
