Frequently Asked Questions
How does AI improve the Direct Metal Laser Sintering process?
Our AI optimizes laser parameters, scan strategies, and support structures, reducing build times and enhancing part density. It continuously learns from thermal history data to minimize distortion and predict optimal sintering parameters for each geometry.
What metal powders can you use in your DMLS process?
At Wefab.ai we use a wide variety of metal powders for DMLS including titanium alloys (Ti6Al4V), aluminum alloys (AlSi10Mg), stainless steel (316L, 17-4PH), maraging steel, Inconel (625, 718), and cobalt-chrome. Our AI automatically adjusts laser parameters and thermal profiles for each powder’s unique properties.
What are your typical turnaround times for DMLS parts?
Simple components can be completed in 5-7 days, while complex parts requiring extensive post-processing and heat treatment may take 10-14 business days.
How do you ensure part accuracy in DMLS?
Our AI employs in-process monitoring, thermal compensation strategies, and controlled build chamber environments. Each component undergoes CMM inspection, with capability for holding tolerances to ±0.002″ on precision features after post-machining.
What file formats do you accept for DMLS projects?
We accept STL, STEP, IGES, X_T, Parasolid, SolidWorks, and other standard CAD formats. Our AI can also interpret GD&T callouts to ensure critical features meet specifications.
What build volume can you accommodate with DMLS?
Our DMLS equipment can produce parts up to 250mm x 250mm x 325mm in a single build. Larger assemblies can be segmented and joined using our AI-optimized welding or mechanical joining methods.
What post-processing is required for DMLS parts?
DMLS parts typically require support removal, stress relief heat treatment, and sometimes Hot Isostatic Pressing (HIP) for maximum density. Our AI manages this workflow efficiently, including surface finishing and precision machining of critical features when needed.
How does DMLS compare to other metal 3D printing technologies?
DMLS offers excellent material properties, high density, and good surface finish compared to other metal AM processes. Our AI platform analyzes your design to determine if DMLS offers advantages over other methods like Binder Jetting or Electron Beam Melting for your specific application.
Can DMLS produce fully dense metal parts?
Yes, our AI-optimized DMLS process routinely achieves 99.7%+ density in most materials. For applications requiring maximum density, we incorporate post-process HIP treatment to eliminate any residual micro-porosity.
What minimum feature size can be achieved with DMLS?
Our DMLS process can reliably produce features as small as 0.3mm and wall thicknesses down to 0.4mm, depending on material and geometry. Our AI analyzes your design to ensure all features meet printability requirements.
