melted on and set, layer by layer Explanation: To make clear that this is SLM and not SLS. A thin layer of metal powder is melted all the way and set (allowed to cool into higher stability structure). This is repeated with the next layer of powder. "SLM can go one step further than SLS, by using the laser to fully melt the metal, meaning the powder is not being fused together but actually liquified long enough to melt the powder grains into a homogeneous part." https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Selective_laser_melting |
