The advantages do not stop with prototyping; DMLS is one of the few additive manufacturing technologies being used in production. It allows more design freedom, and more efficient designs in technical applications. Since the components are built layer by layer, it is possible to design internal features and passages that could not be cast or otherwise machined. Complex geometries and assemblies with multiple components can be simplified to fewer parts with a more cost effective assembly. DMLS does not require special tooling like castings, so production runs can be shorter and supply chains can carry less inventory.
