What is 3D Printing?

• If you are new to the concept of 3D printing or
  are on the lookout for a reliable Metal 3D
  printer, knowing the exact purpose of a 3D
  printing machine is essential. 3D printing as the
  name suggests has something to do with the
  three-dimensional output. Using a 3D Model out of
  a CAD software , a three-dimensional solid object
  is printed on a 3D printer, also known as an
  Additive Manufacturing machine.
• Additive manufacturing involves creating
  successive layers of material to form the final
  model.
• Metal 3D printing allows the creation of highly
  complex structures which would be difficult or
  impossible to manufacture by using conventional
  technologies. As the structures are extremely
  lightweight and stable, functional optimization
  and integration without additional assembly steps
  are possible. Based on a CAD Model, material in
  the powder form is melted together layer by
  layer in such a way that a three-dimensional
  object results in the end. Material is added in
  precise different layer thickness to realize a
  completely functional Metal Part.

Is 3D printing advantageous?

• For a number of reasons, businesses have begun
  adopting the 3D printing method. Not only is this
  technique highly advanced but is efficient too.
  Here are a few benefits of adopting the 3D
  printing technique
• Manufacturing complex designs is easier3D
  printing enables businesses to develop models
  with complex designs at ease. When product owners
  decide to design their parts for Additive
  Manufacturing, that is when they utilize the most
  of this technology.
• It optimizes topology3D printing for metals
  gives you total control over the outcome. You can
  customize the design and structure of your model
  while making the otherwise tedious tasks
  achievable.
• It enables mass customizationIf you need
  customized designs with every print, 3D printing
  makes it possible to just modify the design on
  your software and print the required model.
• Get better efficiency at a reduced costIf your
  business requires making 3D models in small
  batches, in a usual scenario, this would be an
  expensive process using the traditional methods.
  However, 3D printing is a cost-effective option
  even for situations like these. Moreover, you can
  save time on product manufacturing or development
  with the speedy 3D printing process.

Where can 3D printing be used?

• Now that we know what is 3D printing and what are
  its advantages lets find out where is 3D metal
  printings cutting-edge technology commonly used
• Aerospace, Space and Defence are among the few
  industries that have exponentially increased the
  use of Metal AM over the last few years. Metal AM
  can produce lightweight parts with optimized
  design. Such parts can be used as fully
  functional parts in required applications. We can
  print parts with complex geometries and defined
  aerodynamic properties cost-effectively and
  quickly. Saving materials and weight, reduces
  both the fuel consumption and the CO2 emissions.
• With EOS Metal AM Machines, we can print patient
  specific implants and medical instruments using
  medically approved materials.
• Using EOS Metal AM Machines, we can print
  Injection Moulding and Die Casting Inserts in
  Industry Grade Tool Steel Material which
  increases productivity with complicated conformal
  cooling channels.

• The jewelry-making sector has also begun adopting
  3D printing, thanks to its possibility of
  creating complex designs.
• To summarize, The DMLS ( Direct Metal Laser
  Solidification )technology used by EOS metal 3D
  printers is also known as Laser Powder Bed
  Fusion, or short LPBF technology, and stands for
  one of the worlds most advanced and reliable
  technologies in metal additive manufacturing.
  This high-end 3D printing technology is used for
  serial manufacturing of (industrial) 3D printed
  metal parts for a wide range of industries. The
  main applications are aerospace, automotive,
  medical, tool and turbomachinery. EOS is the
  leading global provider for industrial metal 3D
  printers and has been using the DMLS technology
  for almost three decades.
• EOS offers a wide range of materials designed
  specifically for metal 3D printing using the DMLS
  technology. Depending on the need of your
  individual production you can choose an alloy
  from our extensive material portfolio. That could
  be aluminium, cobalt- chrome, nickel-based,
  refractive metal, stainless steels, tool steels,
  case-hardening steels, copper, and titanium
  alloys as well as precious metals like gold.
• If you too are looking forward to making this big
  switch towards 3D printing, Phillips Machine
  Tools is here to help you. Reach out to us for
