The 3D metal printer refers to advanced metal additive manufacturing technology, specifically the LENS DED system. These metal 3D printers use this technology to build complex metal parts layer by layer, utilizing a laser to melt metal powder as it is deposited. The LENS DED system is widely recognized for its ability to print high-performance metal components, which are particularly useful in industries like aerospace, defence, automotive, and medical instrumentation.
