German term or phrase: in Schichten aufgeschmolzen
Selektives Laserschmelzen- und sintern (SLM, SLS)

•Werkstoffe: Metall (SLM), Kunststoffe (SLS)
•Verfahrensweise: Beim selektiven Laserschmelzen wird Metallpulver mit einem Laser ***in Schichten aufgeschmolzen***. Während der Abkühlung verbindet sich das aufgebrachte Pulver mit der obersten Schicht des Druck-Körpers und ist derzeit in der Industrie relativ weit verbreitet. Im Unterschied dazu wird beim selektiven Lasersintern das Kunststoffpulver nur angeschmolzen.
•Anwendung: Die Verfahren werden in der Fertigung von Kleinserien, für Prototypen und Spezialwerkzeugen eingesetzt, außerdem in der Reparatur von Maschinenbaukomponenten und für den Teileaufbau.

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
