What SLM / DMLS means here
SLM and DMLS fuse metal powder with a laser, layer by layer. This page explains that path. It does not claim a powder-bed line, a printer count, or a build volume.

Metal 3D Printing (SLM / DMLS) and the CNC Path
Learn when SLM or DMLS fits a metal geometry, then quote CNC milling or turning for pilots. Powder-bed metal printing is only on special request.
When the path is CNC
Functional metal prototypes, threads, mating faces, and batches of about 1–50 pieces are usually milled or turned in aluminum, stainless, or steel. A printed metal part still needs machining on fits.
Recommended next step
Upload a STEP for a CNC aluminum, stainless, or steel quote. If a lattice or a closed internal channel truly needs SLM or DMLS, engineering reviews that sourcing separately.

FAQ
Do you offer metal 3D printing?
Not as a standard line. The shop path is CNC milling and turning in Dongguan, China. Special SLM or DMLS sourcing can be reviewed case by case. Resin SLA is a different page.
SLM or CNC for a small metal batch?
CNC usually wins on tolerance, threads, and lead time at low volume. Share the geometry and the annual quantity for a DFM comparison.
