SLM (Selective Laser Melting) is a technology for layer-by-layer fusion of metal powder by a laser beam, allowing the manufacture of products with unique internal geometry and high strength levels. The Saint Petersburg Technopark Prototyping Center provides SLM 3D printing services on its own equipment, ensuring flexibility in implementing non-standard projects.
Printing is possible in titanium and aluminum, making the method particularly relevant for the aerospace industry, instrument engineering, medicine, and scientific research. Center specialists provide support at all stages: from 3D model adaptation to post-processing (support removal, heat treatment, polishing). The technology allows for the production of prototypes, unique assemblies, and small batches of metal parts unattainable by traditional methods.
