The fusion manufacturing extension unlocks additive M PB F
00:08
metal powder bed fusion capabilities within the manufacturing workspace
00:12
including selective laser multi
00:14
SLM support.
00:17
To view more information about the additive M PB F capabilities
00:22
in the application bar, click extensions
00:25
and in the extension manager
00:27
select manufacturing.
00:29
The overview tab includes the benefits of metals based additive manufacturing,
00:35
click the documentation tab and scroll down to
00:38
the editor section for further M PB F information
00:43
close the extension manager
00:45
in the manufacture workspace support for additive M PB F
00:49
provides advanced controls allowing you to select a machine,
00:53
arrange and orient parts on the build platform,
00:56
create fully associated support structures,
00:60
slice models
01:01
and output native build files.
01:04
Additive manufacturing is comprised of several technology families.
01:09
Selective laser multi or SLM is a metal additive
01:13
manufacturing technology within the M PB F family.
01:17
It uses metal powder feedstock which is fused together using a
01:21
laser power source to create high resolution fully dense metal components.
01:26
During the SLM process powder feedstock is spread
01:30
into a fine layer by a recoder arm before
01:33
a laser selectively scans and fuses the cross
01:35
section of the component at the relevant layer height
01:39
once the layer is complete,
01:41
the powder then moves down a single layer thickness
01:43
before the next layer of the powder is spread.
01:46
And the process repeats,
01:48
it is this continuous cycle of fusing together the layers
01:52
of powder that results in a fully dense metal part.
01:55
At the end of the process
01:57
SLM applications are traditionally used in
01:60
aerospace Motorsport and medical industries.
02:04
However,
02:05
you can now find examples in almost every sector of
02:08
the manufacturing industry ranging from prototypes to production parts.
02:13
The most successful applications take full advantage of the design freedom SLM
02:18
offers adding value to and improving the performance of a component.
