The contours of the component are then created by a deviation of the laser, done by mirror deflection (scanner). The different selective laser machines and installations have a variety of strategies to reduce the tension in construction components, depending on their constructor.<br \/>\nThe range of materials extends from stainless steel or tool steel, aluminum and aluminum alloys including titanium and titanium alloys to chromium-cobalt-molybdenum alloys and alloys made of bronze, precious metal, nickel or copper.<br \/>\nThe material powders that are employed generally usually originate from raw materials that are already officially approved, certified and integrated in classical production methods. Their density is at approximatively 99,9%.<br \/>\nThe range of choices expands from small installations (construction space approx. 50\u00d750 x 80 mm) up to large installations (construction space: 800\u00d7400\u00d7500 mm.).<br \/>\nIf there is a demand for even greater components, alternative options could be assembly technologies.<br \/>\nFor instance, construction speed, batch sizes and construction room size \u2013 are three fixed points of the AM method.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>A 3D geometrical shape appears seemingly out of thin air, when using the selective laser melting method.
