Metal Additive Manufacturing — No Compromise
3D Printing Metal covers Direct Metal Laser Sintering and selective laser melting across six aerospace-grade alloys. Published by Ben Stagl (SAIC professor, 20-year fabrication veteran) and Max Davis (MAXCNC, digital fabrication specialist) — practitioners who have run production DMLS programs, not observers.
What We Cover
Process parameters, alloy metallurgy, design rules (wall thickness, overhang angles, support strategy), post-processing (stress relief, HIP, CNC hybrid), and supplier qualification. The depth that procurement engineers and materials scientists actually need.
Part of the Metal 3D Printing Network
3D Printing Metal is part of a network of dedicated metal additive manufacturing publications anchored by dmls3d.com — the flagship technical resource for Direct Metal Laser Sintering. Cross-linking resources, shared research feed, and consistent editorial standards across the network.
