When the first direct metal laser sintering (DMLS) machines hit the production floor, some in the manufacturing community assumed the end of traditional machining was near. After all, how cool is it to fill a machine with metal powder, load a CAD file, and a few hours later, out pops a shiny new part? How could a shop possibly compete with a machine that creates little waste, has no cutting tools, and touts a setup as simple as the push of a button? Check out the full article by Protolabs - Euro

Metal that moves like fabric. 🔥 Using DMLS 3D-printing, engineers are fusing titanium powder into thousands of tiny interlocking links creating a flexible, chainmail-like sheet that bends like cloth but performs like armor. Lightweight. Durable. Almost unbreakable. A glimpse of future materials where AI-driven design meets advanced manufacturing.
