Back to Parts Manufacturing Last updated: August 7, 2026 Written by Felix Lee, CEO at Forgecise Metal 3D printing powder removal, also called depowdering, removes loose and trapped powder from SLM and LPBF parts before heat treatment, machining, pressure testing, or final use. The main methods include tapping, vibration, gas blowing, vacuum extraction, abrasive flow

Back to Parts Manufacturing By Felix Lee | CEO at Forgecise Published: August 6, 2026 Executive Summary (TL;DR) > Laser formation is the core physical process of metal 3D printing, especially Selective Laser Melting (SLM). To build dense, low-stress parts, engineers must balance energy input, control liquid melt pools, and manage thermal strain. This guide

Back to Parts Manufacturing What is SLM Pre-Processing? SLM pre-processing covers all digital and machine steps you take before firing the laser in metal 3D printing. It includes repairing CAD files, setting part angles, designing support structures, setting laser energy values, and checking the machine bed. Proper preparation stops print failures, cuts material waste, and

Back to Parts Manufacturing Raw material is the first gatekeeper in the metal additive manufacturing quality chain. Powder shape, particle size, oxygen levels, and flow performance directly determine part density, strength, and batch stability. This guide walks through how metal raw materials are made, tested, selected, and recycled. 1. Raw Material Formats and Process Matching

Section 1: Introduction to WAAM and Thermal Management What is Wire Arc Additive Manufacturing (WAAM)? Wire Arc Additive Manufacturing (WAAM) is a metal 3D printing process that combines standard gas metal arc welding (GMAW) equipment with multi-axis industrial robot arms. Instead of melting expensive metal powders with lasers, WAAM feeds commercial metal wire into an

Written by Felix Lee, CEO at ForgecisePublished: July 31, 2026Last updated: July 31, 2026Expertise: Metal Additive Manufacturing | Robotic Welding | Industrial Automation Quick Answer Wire Arc Additive Manufacturing, or WAAM, is a directed energy deposition process that uses an electric arc to melt metal wire and build near-net-shape components layer by layer. It is

1. What is Wire Arc Additive Manufacturing? Building huge metal parts like rocket fuel tanks, ship propellers, and crane arms used to take months of heavy forging and cutting. Today, engineers build these same large parts in days using Wire Arc Additive Manufacturing (WAAM). WAAM is a direct energy deposition (DED) process. It combines standard
