Direct Metal Laser Sintering (DMLS) is one of the major technologies in additive manufacturing (AM). It is known for making precise and extremely dense metal parts in single or small-lot quantities.

While this additive manufacturing process has proven an ideal technology for rapid building of metal parts—including core and cavity inserts for molds—it hasn't caught on with many moldmakers.

The total energy consumption for creating the initial raw powder metal, then producing the bracket in DMLS, was slightly smaller than the equivalent cast process steps (with the higher energy use of ...
