Printing Process
Selective Laser Melting (SLM):
Selective laser melting (SLM) is a metal additive manufacturing (AM) technology that uses a bed of powder with a source of heat to create metal parts.
Laser Solid Forming (LSF):
Laser solid forming (LSF) is a typical laser direct energy deposition additive manufacturing technology based on the powder feeding method with a high deposition rate.
Wire Arc Additive Manufacturing (WAAM):
Wire arc additive manufacturing (WAAM) is a wire-based DED approach that uses an electrical arc as a source of fusion to melt the wire feedstock and deposit a part preform, layer by layer.
BLT Intelligent Manufacturing Factory has 380 sets of machines & systems, of which nearly half are large-format systems. The build dimension of large-format system is from 400mm to 1500mm, and the build dimension of small and medium-format machines & systems is from 160mm to 400mm. Machines & systems of all sizes meets the forming needs of various parts in Aerospace.
