Abstract

Laser Melting (SLM), a complex technique because of it requires close monitoring of the procedure. It combines modern CAD / CAM technology with the classic application of layer-by-layer ceramics, the material used allowing the selection from a wide range of colours, and thus giving the possibility of customization, aesthetic reproduction and at the same time a functional prosthetic restoration. Materials may include copper, aluminium, stainless steel, steel for tools, chromium cobalt, titanium and tungsten. The equipment used to obtain the metal frame by the SLM process is Mlab cusing 200R. Laser beam scanning is an essential task because these parameters happen to be the most influential on the characteristics.
