SLM Solutions’ white paper, The Support-Free Printing Revolution: Free Float by Benjamin Haas, explores the origins, features, and practical applications of the Free Float technology. Since the 1990s, metal additive manufacturing (AM) has advanced significantly, enabling industrial-scale production with multi-laser systems and large build chambers. However, the need for support structures has limited AM’s potential by adding complexity and post-processing. Free Float overcomes this hurdle by eliminating support structures, allowing for faster, more efficient production of complex metal parts and expanding future additive manufacturing possibilities.
