Revolutionizing metal manufacturing with Direct Metal Laser Sintering (DMLS)
At AnyShape, we are experts in direct metal laser sintering (DMLS) technology: one of the world’s most advanced metal additive manufacturing technologies that utilizes high-powered lasers and fine metal powders to create high quality metal parts with unmatched precision. This technology is widely used across various industries such as automotive, motorsport, aerospace, defense, and healthcare. We offer diverse material options for DMLS technology including steels, copper, nickel alloys, and superalloys. These materials are ideal for creating strong, durable parts that are designed to withstand extreme conditions.
Over the years, we have refined our DMLS process to meet the highest industry standards; continually improving part quality, performance, and surface finish. We invest heavily in research and development, which enables us to customize material parameters and develop unique metal additive production parts.
Applications across multiple sectors
- Automotive and Motorsport: DMLS is pivotal in producing lightweight, high-performance parts that improve vehicle efficiency and speed.
- Aerospace: Our additive manufacturing technology allows us to produce complex, lightweight components that are essential for aerospace applications.
- Defense: DMLS aids the rapid production of critical defense parts that must be durable, reliable, and ready for deployment in challenging environments.
- Healthcare: DMLS is also making significant strides in healthcare, particularly in the production of personalized medical implants and surgical guides.
