Orion Laser Micromachining System

Product catalog summary

Introduction
ExOne has established itself as a leader in nontraditional manufacturing through extensive research and development. Their advancements in additive manufacturing and micromachining processes position them as a key partner for industrial manufacturers transitioning to digital manufacturing.

Orion® Laser Machining Systems
The Orion® advanced short-pulse laser machining systems are designed for precision micro holes and features. They can produce holes less than 100 µm in diameter through 1 mm of material in under 8 seconds, with minimal thermal recast. The system supports complex geometries with sophisticated beam manipulation, allowing for positive and negative taper and parallel sidewalls.

Material Flexibility
The system can machine a wide range of materials, including exotic and common materials such as H10, H11, H13, SCM 415, SCM 420, stainless steel, titanium, nickel materials and alloys, single crystal aerospace materials, thermal/environment barrier coatings, ceramic matrix composites, molybdenum, and rhenium.
