How to 3D print Metal Parts with a polymer SLS Printer – Cold Metal Fusion Process Chain

Cold Metal Fusion is a groundbreaking manufacturing process that uses polymer SLS 3D printers by Sintratec to produce complex metal components. In this video, Levent Akbas of Headmade Materials walks you through the CMF process chain, from preparation to the final metal parts.

To illustrate the process, we produce an automotive lightweight gear with 17-4PH stainless steel material.
