The Selective Laser Melting Machine SLM®500 provides a large build envelope of 500 x 280 x 365 mm³ and the multi-beam technology. In the high-performance machine, four fiber lasers (4x 400W or 4x 700W) are in action simultaneously, increasing the build-up rate by up to 90 % compared with the twin configuration (2x 400W or 2x 700W). The universally usable machine with high productivity is perfectly suited for series production of complex build parts and it is specifically designed for use in the production environment. An extremely comprehensive basic configuration and the large choice of options enable application-oriented machine configuration.

With three times higher gas flow, the robust SLM® machine produces parts with the highest density and surface quality. Soot is removed from the process chamber efficiently and reliably, even for the longest duration builds.

The SLM®500 offers fully automated powder management. Metal powder is continuously and automatically sieved and fed to the build process using the PSV, and removal of the build parts is efficiently performed in the PRS. The next build can be started immediately using an additional build cylinder, reducing turnaround time.
