DMD™ is a break-through process that fabricates fully dense metal "from the ground up" using powdered metal and a focused laser. It is the enabling technology behind
our full line of time and money saving products. Using DMD, highly accurate functional parts can be fabricated with extremely short lead times, and repairs and alterations can be made without the problems associated with traditional welding processes.
DMD automatically constructs 3D components - in a variety of pure, production intent metals - directly from computer-aided design (CAD) data. The key to the technology is an optical heat energy source, in this case an industrial laser that is used to directly fabricate metal parts. DMD is an additive process whereby CAD solid models are sliced into thin layers, then each layer built upon one another using the laser and powdered metal. The POM advantage is a patented closed-loop feedback system that ensures product quality and dimensional stability during fabrication. Tool steels, Nickel-Superalloys and other dissimilar metals can be combined to create a solid object, such as a mold, die or metal prototype. The rapid cooling characteristics of DMD create a fine grain microstructure, which results in a fully dense product with superior mechanical and metallurgical properties.
