3D Printed 316L DMLS and SLM

I am curious to know if both DMLS and SLM use bronze infusion, and if this process affects tensile and yield strengths.

Heyo, both of those terms are essentially referring to the same thing these days, Laser Powder Bed Fusion. Kind of like brand names. Also, today we no longer have to use a filler material as we are printing at 99.9+% density. There are still some technologies that use filler metals, like powder metallurgy or metal injection molding, but the geometries tend to be simpler.
