SLM® 500 HL

Product catalog summary

Overview: The document describes the Selective Laser Melting System®500HL, a high-performance additive manufacturing system designed for efficiently producing complex and large objects. It features a build envelope of 500 x 280 x 320 mm³ and utilizes unique double laser beam technology.

Specifications: The SLM®500HL is equipped with four fiber lasers (4x 400 W or 2x 400W+1000W) and an optical 3D scanning unit. It offers a build speed of 105 ccm/h, practical layer thickness ranging from 20 µm to 200 µm, and a minimum scale line/wall thickness of 160 - 180 µm. The operational beam focus is between 80 - 120 µm / 700 µm, and the scan speed is 10 m/s. The system requires inert gas consumption of Ar/N₂ at 5 l/min during operation and 2500 l @ 100 l/min during venting. It also requires compressed air at 30 l/min @ 1.5 bar.

Features: The SLM®500HL includes a shell-core-imaging process with two different laser beam profiles that can be used independently or simultaneously, enhancing productivity. It features automated and continuous metal powder transport, improving operator safety and reducing manual handling. The system's open software architecture allows for customization according to specific production needs and includes Materialise software for processing CAD/STL-data files, slicing, support generation, monitoring, auditing, and quality assessment.

Operational Details: The system dimensions are 4000 x 2200 (2500) x 1100 mm, with a weight of approximately 2600 kg. It requires an electrical connection of 400 Volt 3NPE, 64 A, 50/60 Hz, with a consumption of 8 KW/h - 10 KW.

Materials: The document mentions a variety of metallic standard materials, including non-ferrous metals, tool steels, precious metals, and light metals, available for use with the system.

SLM®500HL convinced with the large build envelope and the Quad Laser technology as a high performance system. Included in the SLM®500HL is the shell-core-imaging process with two different laser beam profile. These profiles may be used independently, but also parallel and simultaneously in the process. This will significantly increase productivity. SLM®500HL automated and continuous transport of metal powder increases operator safety and eliminates time consuming manual fills and powder handling. About an unpacking unit the finished build cylinder is transported out of the system. The cooling...
