3D Manufacturing with Selective Laser Melting
Description
With its deposition-to-finishing competence, DMG MORI presents the most important additive manufacturing machining processes under one roof and ranks as a full-solution provider in both the additive production of metallic components and metal cutting. The highlight that will be featured at IMTS this year is the LASERTEC 30 SLM.
With the powder bed technique, very small, highly complex parts can be manufactured by means of selective laser melting. The LASERTEC 30 SLM enables the flexible use of different materials, while an intelligent powder module concept allows the change of material in under two hours. The closed powder circuit also guarantees a high degree of work safety and process autonomy. The ergonomic design of the machine simplifies workpiece handling and maintenance work through the arrangement of doors and flaps, while the new Stealth Design Control Panel keeps all important buttons and operating elements in direct view and control panel.
The LASERTEC 30 SLM enables holistic software solutions to realize workpieces of various materials with high density and very good mechanical behaviors. This selective laser melting machine produces 3D parts with lattice and honeycomb structures which are not achievable with other machining methods. It has an integrated powder recycling center for even more efficiency and improved powder handling in removable units for better reliability.
