Metal 3D printer LMP100

powder bed fusionhigh-speedfor the aerospace industry

The operation principle is quite simple and easy to understand. A 3D model (of a bridge or crown, for example) is scanned and then prepared by special software into many layers, or slices. With a low-power built-in laser, the machine melts the metal powder into desired 2D shapes. By adding the next layer of metal powder and consecutive laser melting into the desired shape, it gradually adds more layers until the whole 3D object is printed. Our machine is specifically built for producing dental prosthetic restorations, therefor the diameter of the laser focal point under 50 µm. Crowns, bridges and removable prosthesis are made of high-quality cobalt-chromium metal powder. On one building plate in one cycle you can print up to 100 units (crowns). It’s possible to use gold, copper, and tool-steel powders, so the machine can also be used in the jewellery production and industry in general.
