Selective Laser Melting Maschine SLM®280 2.0

Product catalog summary
Overview
The Selective Laser Melting Machine SLM®280 2.0 is a high-performance machine designed for both series and one-off production with customizable parameters. It features a 280 x 280 x 365 mm³ build envelope and patented multi-beam technology, allowing up to two fiber lasers to expose the build field via a 3D scan optic.

Specifications
The machine offers several configurations: single optics (1x 400 W or 1x 700 W), dual optics (1x 700 W and 1x 1000 W), and twin optics (2x 400 W or 2x 700 W). It achieves up to an 80% higher build rate depending on part arrangement. The build rate for twin 700 W is up to 88 cm³/h. The machine supports variable layer thickness from 20 µm to 75 µm, with a minimum feature size of 150 µm and a beam focus diameter of 80 - 115 µm. It operates with an average inert gas consumption of 2.5 l/min (argon) during the process and 70 l/min during purging.

Features
The SLM®280 2.0 includes a 2+1 filter solution for increased filter lifetime and a high-temperature substrate-plate heating option for temperatures up to 550°C. It supports a large powder tank (40l) with two 5l bottles for efficient powder handling. The machine operates in an inert gas atmosphere with efficient gas circulation to reduce consumption and ensure secure operation.

Quality Assurance
The machine offers Melt Pool Monitoring (MPM) and Laser Power Monitoring (LPM) for quality assurance. MPM visualizes the melt pool, aiding in process parameter optimization and documentation for safety-critical parts. LPM continuously measures laser output, serving as an early warning system and contributing to process documentation.

Selective Laser Melting Maschine SLM®280 2.0-4

The SLM®280 2.0 is equipped with a 2+1 filter solution that increases the filter lifetime. The additional second stage fine filter ensures an extremely low particle concentration. In addition, the SLM®280 2.0 provides a build volume reduction of 100 x 100 x 160 mm3 thus decreasing the amount of powder. Another option available is the high temperature substrate-plate heating, that enables temperatures up to 550°C on the substrate-plate and the production of metal parts up to a height of 100 mm and a diameter of 90 mm. The modular design concept of this option does enable a quick mounting similar...

Selective Laser Melting Maschine SLM®280 2.0-5

Fresh powder is either supplied through the direct connection of powder containers to the powder tank from the PSV or through the emptying of the powder container in the process chamber via a suction device. Powder transport, powder sieving and the storage of the powder take place in a closed system with inert gas atmosphere. Contactless powder handling ensures maximum safety at work. A comprehensive monitoring and quality assurance system enables a high degree of process control in the machine. Melt Pool Monitoring (MPM) is an optionally available on-axis tool for visualizing the melt pool in...
