Selective Lazer Melting (SLM)
Selective Laser Melting or Metal Powder Bed Fusion is a 3D printing process which produces solid objects, using a thermal source to induce fusion between metal powder particles one layer at a time.
Most Powder Bed Fusion technologies employ mechanisms for adding powder as the object is being constructed, resulting in the final component being encased in the metal powder. The main variations in metal Powder Bed Fusion technologies come from the use of different energy sources; lasers or electron beams.
-
Types of 3D Printing Technology: Direct Metal Laser Sintering (DMLS); Selective Laser Melting (SLM); Electron Beam Melting (EBM).

When you’re choosing an engineering consulting firm to work with, you want a team that you can count on for all aspects of product prototyping, engineering and development. The engineers at Forcyst Engineering firm rely on 3D Computer-Aided Design (CAD), Finite Element Analysis (FEA) and Design Failure Mode and Effects Analysis (DFMEA) to solve problems in the virtual domain and bring the industrial designers’ vision to life. We employ a design, build, test, and repeat process during the engineering phase to ensure the best results for our clients.
The hardware development happens alongside the engineering phase. This helps to ensure a minimal number of revisions to both the mechanical and hardware components. As we develop your product’s hardware, we create breadboard prototypes to better define potential components, system architecture and firmware.
Put simply, our engineering consulting services are unmatched when it comes to turning an idea or concept into a new product that functions properly and is cost-effective to manufacture.
Forcyst, as a leading product development Company in Mumbai offers End to End Product Design, Development and Product Optimization to multiple sectors like Medical, Automotive, Aerospace, Consumer, Energy and Industry globally. From Research & Development to Design Engineering, Prototyping, Analysing and Manufacturing and plastic injection moulding services, we provide complete one stop solutions.
