Additive Manufacturing by selective laser melting (SLM)

Additive Manufacturing by selective laser melting (SLM) in powder bed

• Highly complex components with function integration
• Internal close-contoured cooling channels
• Weight optimisation due to lattice and honeycomb structures as well as topology-optimised components
• Simultaneous build-up of different designs
• Shorter product development times by quickly available prototypes made of series materials

100% machine tool design for SLM technology

• Build volume of 325 x 325 x 400 mm
• Single-, Dual- or Quad-Laser with high-precision optics and full overlap
• Exchangeable build container for reduced job-to-job time
• Bi-directional recoating with collision protection system
• CELOS X with easyAM – guided workflows for simplified machine operation and maintenance

New benchmark for robustness and repeatability

• Thermosymmetric casting frame for highest rigidity
• Floating process chamber for minimized thermal shifts
• Active temperature compensation for z-axis positioning
• Protective glass monitoring to detect smoke residues and weld penetrations
• Powder bed monitoring for anomaly detection

rePLUG – The powder module for fast material change

• Automated powder handling: Integrated powder-recycling for maximum efficiency and highest work-safety due to closed material cycle
• One material per rePLUG – Any expansion of the material range due to modular changing system for contamination-free changeover
• Integrated sieving and powder drying functionality under inert gas atmosphere
• Industrialized powder fill-in-interfaces and precise weight detection in main tank
• Optional: rePLUG FLEX - the additional powder module, especially developed for the material and process parameter development on the series system
