Metal 3D printer 280 PS

SLMfor the aerospace industry

Third-generation machine designed for production environments. Featuring multiple lasers, closed-loop powder handling and upgraded process control ideal for demanding applications requiring high productivity. Multi-laser (twin) Dedicated material Automated powder handling Permanent filter With a build plate 25% larger than standard mid-sized machines to fit more parts per build, the SLM®280 Production Series is a high-power, multi-laser machine designed for production oriented additive manufacturing. The SLM®280 Production Series utilizes our patented multi-laser scan strategy to minimize soot interference, alter layer stitching and deliver results with the same density and mechanical properties as single-laser builds. Gas Flow Ensures Highest Part Quality The SLM®280 Production Series provides a patented, laminar gas flow that creates a clean process environment and increases quality throughout the whole build. Powder transport, sieving and storage is contained within an inert gas atmosphere to maintain powder quality Machine: SLM®280 Twin Material: Ti6Al4V Layer Thickness: 30µm Build Time: 1d 19h 11m (Maximized Build Chamber, 2 Units) This structural component from a Krueger flap actuation mechanism was optimized at ASCO Industries in the course of the AFLoNext Project. Through additive manufacturing, 31% weight savings and a reduction of the total assembly time could be reached. It integrates three parts into one reduced assembly and has an improved buy-to-fly ratio reduced from 17 down to 1.5. The build time was significantly reduced by 42% using a SLM®280 Twin, compared to single-laser machines.
