Uncompromising metal 3D printing with over 99.9 % part density

When plastic reaches its limits and your part must be made of solid stainless steel, lightweight aluminum, high-strength structural steel, or titanium, selective laser melting (SLM) comes into play. In a hermetically sealed process chamber completely flooded with high-purity shielding gas (argon or nitrogen), ultra-fine metal powder is spread in wafer-thin layers of just 0.02 to 0.06 mm on a build plate preheated to up to 200 °C.
A high-precision fiber laser (400 to 1,000 watts of power with a fine focus diameter of approx. 0.08 mm) locally melts the metal powder completely and welds it layer by layer into a solid metal part with a material density of over 99.9 %—mechanically on par with classic wrought material and tougher than conventional metal casting.
Printing aluminum and steel in the same machine risks contaminated alloys and brittle parts. That is why printing is carried out strictly segregated on dedicated production systems for each material group (stainless steels such as 316L & 17-4 PH, lightweight aluminum AlSi10Mg, highly reactive materials such as titanium Ti6Al4V, and weldable structural steels S480 & S700). After the build in the up to 280 x 280 x 350 mm build volume, the parts undergo thermal stress-relief annealing in the furnace if required, before they are precisely separated from the build plate via wire EDM or band saw, freed of all support structures, and media-blasted—ready for your application.
