Additive Manufacturing (AM) is the process of producing 3 dimensional objects directly from CAD data and basically works on the principle of layer manufacturing. Additive Manufacturing was used primarily to produce prototypes but with the advancements made, it is finding application in the production of functional end products. One of the few Additive Manufacturing methods that has garnered interest in recent times is the Direct Metal Laser Sintering Process (DMLS). In Direct Metal Laser Sintering a thin layer of atomized metallic powders is evenly distributed by a coating mechanism on a substrate plate and a high intensity laser is employed to fuse or sinter the powders to form a solid layer, which is repeated till the final product is obtained. DMLS is a fast developing process being utilized for material science and in the industrial sector. The ability of DMLS to produce accurate, functional products with intricate designs in a single fabrication step, custom properties can be achieved by controlling the process parameters in DMLS and there is a considerable reduction in the material wastage and more freedom in designing, all these make DMLS a promising option for many manufacturing and industrial challenges. A detailed literature review on the Process of Direct Metal Laser Sintering (DMLS) is done in this paper.
