What is Selective Laser Melting（SLM ）3D Printing?

Selective Laser Melting (SLM) is a specific additive manufacturing (3D printing) technology that belongs to the powder bed fusion category. It is used to create complex and intricate metal parts directly from a digital 3D model by selectively melting and fusing fine metal powders layer by layer using a high-powered laser.
