EP-M450 Metal 3D Printer
High-Quality and Consistent Metal Part Production
- Printed parts' density > 99.9%, deviation in parts' mechanical properties < 5%.
- The optimized gas flow design ensures efficient removal of smoke and splashes as well as achievement of uniform and consistent full size printing.
- Dynamic software with ability to divide the model into different sections like upper and lower surfaces, core areas and small areas etc. Different process parameters can be applied individually to these parts for high printed part quality.
- Repeatable positional accuracy along Z-axis of building direction ≤±5 μm.
- Overlapping deviation with dual laser printing ≤±0.1 mm. Overall mechanical properties of the printed part remains same when compared to printing results with the single laser machine.
High-Efficiency Metal 3D Printer and Powder Recoating
- Build volume (X x Y x Z): 450 x 450 x 550 mm (height incl. build plate).
- Printing with increased layer thickness can be realized, increasing the production capacity.
- With in-house developed processing software (EPHatch), optimized scanning strategies can be achieved with reduced print duration.
- Bi-directional powder recoating method leads to reduced recoating time.
Reliable Build Environment and Process Control
- Excellent core optic components from world-class supplier and mature process control parameter algorithm provides highest part quality.
- High quality uniform part printing due to excellent control over building environment and components.
- Tightly sealed build chamber maintains oxygen concentration <100 ppm and a stable pressure during printing.
- Sustained monitoring of powder left in feeder and ability to add powder without stopping the machine ensures uninterrupted part printing.
- Double protection of chamber door is attained due to dual gas releasing ports on top of printing chamber.
