We specialize in creating custom parts with excellent mechanical properties, minimizing waste, and reducing production times. Whether you need prototypes, miniature, sculptures, or full-scale production, our metal 3D printing technology delivers reliable results.
Overview of Laser Metal 3D Technology
We use Selective Laser Melting technology for the production of 3D prints on metals. SLM turns powdered materials into dense, sturdy components with great accuracy. A laser melts and binds thin layers of powder, following a detailed CAD model. Each layer is fused to the one below, gradually building the piece. Once complete, more powder is added, and the process repeats.
This method is perfect for creating complex machine parts, lightweight designs, and other components. Metal 3D technology find its application in aerospace, automotive, and healthcare. We can produce strong, corrosion-resistant industrial prototypes with less waste and faster production times.
Our material options include cobalt, tungsten, aluminum, stainless steel, copper, and titanium.

- Selective Laser Melting
- Electron Beam Melting (EBM)
- Direct Energy Deposition
- Binder Jetting
- Bound Powder Extrusion
- Focus on essential dimensions that affect part performance to ensure high precision and meet design specifications.
- Increase the surface area of parts in contact with the build platform to enhance adhesion and stability during printing.
- Minimize the use of support structures by optimizing designs, leading to cleaner finishes and less post-processing work.
- Print multiple parts simultaneously to enhance efficiency and consistency in quality while reducing overall production time.
Porosity is directly related to density in 3D printed parts. It occurs when small cavities form during printing, reducing the material's overall density and potentially leading to cracks or fatigue over time. Minimizing porosity is crucial for ensuring structural integrity and reliability in printed components.
At Design Roots, Jalahalli, we focus on precision and quality, producing models with up to 99% density, ensuring superior strength and durability for even the most demanding applications.
We never say "impossible" and always deliver precise, excellent models.
Most metals can be used in 3D printing if available as powder. However, metals that burn
instead of melting at high temperatures can't be safely printed using sintering or melting methods.
These metals can still be printed by extruding them through a nozzle rather than using heat-based processes.
The strength of 3D printed metal depends on the technology used. Parts produced with techniques like SLM and
Laser Powder Bed Fusion (LPBF) are often stronger than cast parts due to higher density and fewer internal voids.
It makes them more durable and reliable.
Design Roots 3D provides its services across all major South Indian metro cities, including Bangalore,
