LASERTEC 30 SLM 3rd Generation
Additive Manufacturing by selective laser melting (SLM)
Highlights
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
