Metal additive manufacturing system

Auto sales finally got back above pre-recession levels in 2014 with August sales reaching a seven-year high. After six long years, sales levels have matched 2007’s pace. More importantly, several research groups expect 2015 continue to grow. Today’s Motor Vehicles allows marketers direct access to this healthy industry with continued growth.

The SLM 280HL metal additive manufacturing system features i-directional re-coater that lays fresh powder on the build plate in both directions, reducing build times by 30%.

Multiple laser configurations – including twin 400W, or dual 400W and 1,000W lasers – can increase build speeds compared to single laser options.

Powder handling systems use inert gas handling to minimize the risk of operator exposure to metal powders and ensure top material quality. An open system architecture for materials and parameters allows users to set standard or propriety parameters. As users max out the capacity of a machine, individual developments on the SLM 280HL can be transferred to other machines, such as the larger SLM 500HL platform.
