Choosing the Right Metal 3D Printer

DMLS and LPBF metal 3D printers are used across automotive, aerospace and medical industries for producing fully dense, high-strength metal parts directly from CAD. As an authorised distributor of Farsoon and FastForm systems in India, SAHAS helps you select, install and run the right machine for your application and budget.


Applications

Where DMLS / LPBF is used in India

  • Functional metal prototypes with complex internal geometries
  • Aerospace brackets, housings and structural components
  • Medical implants, surgical instruments and patient-specific devices
  • Tooling inserts, conformal cooling channels and injection moulds
  • Dental restorations including crowns, bridges and partial frameworks
  • Low-volume production of high-value metal parts as an alternative to casting or CNC for complex geometries
  • Replacement of legacy or discontinued metal components without tooling

How to Choose

What to look for in a DMLS / LPBF machine

Material compatibility

Confirm the machine supports your alloy before shortlisting. Common materials include SS316L, AlSi10Mg, Ti6Al4V, Inconel 718, maraging steel, cobalt-chrome and tool steels. Not all machines support all materials.

Build volume

Match the build envelope to your part size and batch requirements. Systems range from compact dental platforms under 150mm to large-format industrial systems over 1500mm for aerospace and heavy engineering.

Laser configuration

Single-laser machines suit R&D and lower volumes. Multi-laser systems with 4, 8, 12, 16 or 32 lasers significantly increase throughput and are better suited for production environments.

Tolerance and surface finish

DMLS achieves ±0.1 to 0.2 mm as-printed. For tighter tolerances on critical surfaces, plan for post-machining as part of your workflow.

Infrastructure readiness

Most industrial DMLS machines require 3-phase power, inert gas supply (argon or nitrogen), powder handling systems and a climate-controlled space. Compact dental systems like the DeskFab-H1 have simpler requirements and fit in a standard lab.

Pricing

Price of Metal 3D Printers in India

What does a DMLS / LPBF machine cost, and what factors drive the price?

Entry-level systems (approx. ₹15 to 40 lakhs)

Compact dental and small-part SLM systems such as the FastForm DeskFab-H1 and FF M-140 fall in this range. Suitable for dental labs, clinics and small manufacturers producing high-precision components in cobalt-chrome, titanium or stainless steel.

Mid-range production systems (approx. ₹40 lakhs to 1.5 crores)

Mid-size industrial systems like the Farsoon FS200M-2, FS273M and FS350M-4 fall here. Suited for manufacturers in automotive, tooling, healthcare and aerospace who need consistent quality at production volumes.

Large-format and multi-laser systems (approx. ₹1.5 to 5+ crores)

High-throughput systems like the FS621M, FS811M and FS1521M series fall in this range. These are capital investments for companies running continuous or high-volume metal AM production, typically in aerospace, heavy engineering and defence.

What drives the final price?

  • Build volume — larger platforms cost more
  • Number of lasers — each additional laser adds to the base price
  • Material capability — machines rated for reactive metals like titanium require additional safety systems
  • Infrastructure — gas supply, powder handling and installation add to the total cost of ownership
  • After-sales support — AMC, training and spare parts are part of the real investment

The right machine is not always the cheapest. It is the one that matches your application, material and volume so you get the lowest cost per part over time. SAHAS helps you work this out before you commit.

Frequently Asked Questions

DMLS/LPBF uses a high-powered laser to selectively melt and fuse layers of metal powder to create fully dense, complex parts directly from a 3D CAD model.
Common materials include stainless steel, aluminum, titanium, Inconel, cobalt-chrome, maraging steel, and tool steels—selected based on application.
Layer thickness ranges from 20 to 60 microns, depending on material, machine settings, and desired surface finish or build speed.
DMLS can achieve tolerances of ±0.1-0.2 mm, though tight tolerances may require post-machining for critical surfaces or assemblies.
Typical post-processing includes support removal, heat treatment (stress relief), shot blasting, CNC machining, polishing, and surface treatments depending on end-use.
Inert gases such as argon or nitrogen are used to maintain a controlled environment, preventing oxidation and ensuring consistent metallurgical properties.
Parts printed using DMLS/LPBF are near fully dense (up to 99.9%) and can match or exceed the mechanical properties of traditionally machined or cast components.
Yes, but overhangs below 45° usually require support structures. Complex internal channels may require build orientation and support removal planning.
Orientation impacts strength, surface quality, support requirement, and build time. Proper orientation helps optimize mechanical properties and reduce post-processing.
Requirements include 3-phase power, inert gas supply (argon/nitrogen), a powder handling system, climate-controlled space, and safety equipment for metal powder handling.
