Introduction
The document introduces the SLM® 500 HL, a new generation of Selective Laser Melting (SLM) systems designed for additive manufacturing. It highlights the transition to production technology in this field.

Specifications
The SLM® 500 HL features a build chamber of 500 x 280 x 325 mm and utilizes a patented double beam technology with two fiber lasers (400W and 1000W). The system employs a shell-core imaging process with two different laser beam profiles, which can be used independently or simultaneously to enhance productivity.

Procedures
The metal powder transport is automated through a continuous conveying system, eliminating manual handling and reducing time-consuming manual input. The system is equipped with Magics AutoFab software for processing CAD/STL data, slicing, and support generation.

Standards and Recommendations
The system includes modules for monitoring, auditing, and quality assessment to ensure optimal quality control. It supports a variety of materials, including non-ferrous metals, tool steel, stainless steel, and light alloys.
