SLM®M)Selective Laser Melting Ma SLMM)® High-Performance Machine for Large Components with Manual and Full Automation Options

With an extended z-axis build envelope measuring 500 x 280 x 850 mm and available in a quad-laser configuration with four 400 W or 700 W lasers, the SLM®800 efficiently builds large components at up to 171cm3/h. This efficient build rate and large build envelope, combined with integrated powder handling and the design freedom afforded by selective laser melting, open new possibilities for large-scale production parts. A clean process chamber is essential to successful builds with acceptable mechanical properties, especially in a process chamber where longer build times increase the amount...

Customizable Unpacking Solutions PRS 800 For single machine operation the PRS 800 is available for the manual unpacking of the build cylinder. After the completion of a build the build cylinder is removed from the machine and into an unpacking station across a linear axis. The powder is manually removed from the build with an integrated blasting tool and vacuum operated through a glovebox in the unpacking station. The inert atmosphere of the PRS 800 and powder management system ensures the quality of the powder is maintained for future builds and minimizes any potential powder contact by...

SLM®HUB The SLM®800 reaches peak performance when paired with the SLM®HUB fully-automated handling station. This integrated solution features automated transport of build cylinders with dedicated locations for pre-heating and cooling in an inert atmosphere. The SLM®HUB also removes manual powder handling from the production process with a centralized powder supply and a powder removal chamber that rotates and vibrates the finished substrate plate to automatically separate all unused powder from the finished part and recycle it back to the sieving station for reuse in future builds. All...

Quality Assurance of the Production Process A comprehensive monitoring and quality assurance system enables a high degree of process documentation and verification. The Additive.Quality product family is key to a controlled, high-quality build. Melt Pool Monitoring (MPM) is an available on-axis tool for visualizing the melt pool in the SLM® process. Data from MPM can be used as a resource for efficiently developing and evaluating the process parameters. In the production of safety-critical parts, the data collected serves as documentation for quality assurance in the production process. The...
