Increased Material Usage: The need for support structures for overhangs during printing leads to increased material usage, which can raise costs and waste.

 

● Rough Surface Finish: Parts produced by SLM typically have a rough surface finish and may require additional post-processing to smooth out.

 

Specialized Knowledge Required: The process demands specialized design and manufacturing skills, which can limit its accessibility.

 

Size Limitations: Currently, SLM is generally limited to relatively small parts, which may not be suitable for all applications.
