Product catalog summary

Company Overview
SLM Solutions GmbH is a pioneer in rapid manufacturing systems, with over 50 years of experience in vacuum casting, metal casting, and selective laser melting. The company has evolved through various names and structures, including HEK GmbH and MTT Technologies GmbH, before becoming SLM Solutions in 2010. The focus is on developing innovative solutions and maintaining high quality standards.

Laser Melting Process
The Laser Melting process uses 3D CAD data to create precise and homogeneous metal parts through a layer-building process. This method achieves density, strength, and accuracy comparable to cast components, with layer thicknesses ranging from 0.05 to 0.3 mm and tolerances of 0.02 mm. The process supports a wide range of metals and certain ceramics, catering to the trend of small lot and customized part production.

SLM® Systems
SLM® systems are known for their innovative features, such as patented bidirectional loader movement and efficient protective gas consumption. They come equipped with leading rapid prototyping software, Magic AutoFab, and offer an open software architecture for user customization. These systems are user-friendly and continuously developed in collaboration with customers and scientific institutions. They are used in various industries, including automotive, aerospace, and medical technology.

Options and Accessories
The document details various options and accessories for SLM® systems, including semi-automatic and automatic sieving stations, additional powder tanks, and nitrogen generators. It also highlights optional features like a double chamber blasting system for post-processing, a zero-point clamping system, and an optional laser up to 1000 W for specific applications.

Materials
SLM® systems can work with a variety of materials, including non-ferrous metals, tool steels, stainless steels, and light alloys. A separate brochure is available for more information on metal powders.
