Welcome to Metal Myths Exposed, a video series by EOS that takes a closer look at the realities of metal additive manufacturing and clears up common misconceptions around laser powder bed fusion (LPBF), also known as Direct Metal Laser Solidification (DMLS).
In this episode, Pete Zelinski sits down with Ankit Saharan, Director of Metals Technology with the Additive Minds group at EOS, to discuss one of the most critical factors for production: repeatability.
They explore:
- How process control ensures consistent, repeatable results in DMLS
- Why heat treatment and shipping are essential parts of the process chain
- What it takes to achieve the same production discipline in additive as in casting or forging
- How modern LPBF systems deliver stable, reliable performance across builds and machines
Today’s DMLS technology goes far beyond its early limitations. When the right controls and processes are in place, it delivers repeatability you can count on—making it a dependable production method for advanced manufacturers.
Watch next:
Explore the full Metal Myths Exposed playlist to see how EOS and industry experts tackle other myths around speed, porosity, materials, and qualification in metal AM.
