00:00 Intro. We discuss what you'll learn from this video.

0:49 Metal 3d printing. The two main metal 3D printing technologies are discussed: SLM and DMLS. We'll also briefly touch upon binder jetting and metal FDM printing.

1:54 How metal 3D printers work. In this section, the metal 3d printing process is explained in detail.

2:39 How the metal 3d printing process is similar to SLS. Here, we'll discuss how the printing process of metal 3D printing is similar to that of SLS 3D printing.

2:59 Main advantages of metal 3D printing. In this part of the video, we'll explain why and when you could use metal 3D printing for your project. Think of design freedom and materials.

3:52 The major limitations of metal 3D printing. In this part of the video, we'll explain why and when not to use metal 3D printing. Think of costs and post-processing.

4:52 Designing for metal 3D printing. Here, we'll explain why it's the most difficult 3D printing technology to design for and what set of rules you need to follow to ensure accurate and quality parts.

6:58 The latest technology updates. In this final part of the video, some of the new technologies, such as binder jetting and material extrusion, are discussed.

8:34 Recap of the video.
