Fathom Digital Manufacturing can build high-quality 3D printed metal parts for your next project. Metal parts can be built form the ground up using Direct Metal Laser Melting (DMLM), the latest technology for 3D printing and additive manufacturing. Fathom produces 3D metal parts for applications ranging from prototypes to production. DMLM technology is ideal for a variety of applications including prototypes, low volume production, and the creation injection molding tooling with integrated conformal cooling channels. DMLM is also known as Direct Metal Laser Sintering (DMLS).
DMLM printing allows designers to create metal part with incredibly complex geometries using Computer Aided Design (CAD) files. Parts built using DMLM have excellent mechanical properties equivalent to wrought materials. DMLM parts can be made in high detail resolution and will have exceptional surface quality. The metal powder is melted entirely to create a fine, fully dense, and homogenous structure. DMLM parts can be designed with cavities and undercuts, which would be difficult or impossible with conventional machining methods. This unique freedom of design opens the doors to creating parts that would not be feasible or fiscally prudent to manufacture with traditional methods.
