SLM Selective Laser Melting
Metal parts built in one process. Xinda's laser powder melting produces dense parts with mechanical properties close to forgings, directly forming conformal cooling channels and topology-optimized structures, fully controlled from prototype validation to low-volume delivery.
Process Overview
SLM Selective Laser Melting
SLM metal printing demands high equipment and process stability. Xinda engages from drawing evaluation: confirming wall thickness, overhangs, and support strategy, and assessing part orientation to minimize distortion. After printing, parts undergo heat treatment, CNC finishing, and dimensional inspection, with critical dimensions recorded part by part, ensuring delivered metal parts are ready for assembly.
- Dense metal forming: density above 99.5%, performance close to forgings
- No limits on complexity: conformal channels, topology optimization, and internal lattices in one build
- Full-process support: heat treatment, CNC finishing, and surface treatment completed in one place
