A steel dragon is on display inside the hall of an additive manufacturing company in Quanzhou. Holding this 3D-printed dragon in your hand, you might even think it's alive. It has remarkably flexible limbs and a nimble body, allowing it to be manipulated with ease.

This is due to the introduction of support-free SLM (Selective Laser Melting) printing, which optimizes printing strategies through advanced algorithms and techniques. These improvements aim to minimize local overheating during the printing process and result in a cleaner final product.
