The Selective Laser Melting Machine SLM®280 2.0 provides a 280 x 280 x 365 mm³ build envelope and a multi-beam technology. During the build process up to two fiber lasers expose the build field via a 3D scan optic.

The high-performance machine is available in several configurations, providing single optics (1x 400W or 1x 700W), dual optics (1x 700W and 1x 1000W) and twin optics (2x 400W or 2x 700W). Depending on how the components are arranged, a 80 % higher build rate can be achieved. In addition, the patented bidirectional powder coating helps to reduce the manufacturing time of individually manufactured metal build parts.

The SLM®280 2.0 as an open system offers many options for optimizing the production processes as required with individually set process parameters and for carrying out material developments. The machine enables the manufacture of individual metal components based on CAD data for series production and one-off production with individual parameters.

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.
