The 3D dragon's joint structure is complex, and the joints are interlocking, with a high degree of freedom. Metal 3D printing is very suitable for printing such difficult design works. For complex hollowed-out or nested multi-layer structures, it is difficult to achieve with traditional techniques. 3D dragon 3D printing can quickly and perfectly present, and even complex structures can be completed at one time. Flexible molding greatly reduces production costs and shortens the production cycle. After the evaluation, our qualified engineers chose the metal SLM selective laser melting integrated molding process to realize the quantitative production of the 3D dragon.


Production process

1. Help customers optimize the design structure and export STL format data files, and then import them into Magics software for slicing;

2. After the slicing is completed, upload the slicing file to the BLT-M400 metal 3D printer. The BLT-M400 metal 3D printer will perform programming self-test and verification, and then perform selective laser melting 3D printing;

3. The powder feeding method of the BLT-M400 metal printer is single-phase powder spreading with scraper, sintering, and melting with double laser heads, the solidification speed of the laser melting forming area is fast, and the printing efficiency is high. Repeat selective laser melting/powdering many times, and so on until the Workpiece forms;

4. After the printing is completed, the substrate is raised, the excess metal powder on the substrate is removed, and the 3D dragon model carrying the metal base is born out of nowhere. Metal 3D printing is integrally formed, and the printing speed is fast;

5. After cutting the metal base, all the joints of the 3D dragon can move up, down, left, and right in a small range. The shape is lifelike, wear-resistant, and drop-resistant, with good surface printing quality and fine printing effect.

6. The surface of the printed dragon is first sandblasted, and then sent to the electroplating workshop for electroplating gold.

7. After passing the inspection by the quality department, it is installed on the decorative base, covered with a transparent acrylic cover, and affixed with a product label. A vivid 3D dragon with metal movable joints is officially launched.


The metal movable joint 3D dragon ornament is produced by a metal 3D printing integrated molding process, with high hardness and good precision. The surface looks exactly like a golden dragon, with a beautiful and lifelike shape. A gift of excellence.
