Medical device manufacturers are increasingly adopting metal additive manufacturing technology to produce a wide range of medical and dental parts. Selective laser melting is a metal powder bed fusion technology used to manufacture new designs of instruments and equipment and utilized for mass communication, i.e., the production of patient-matched implants and prostheses on a large scale. Dental prosthetic components, orthopedic, spine and cranio-maxillofacial implants are all common applications of the SLM® technology.
