- 280 x 280 x 365 mm build envelope
- Multi-laser (twin)
- Efficient material changeover
Multi-laser systems can achieve build rates 80% faster than a single laser, and patented bi-directional powder recoating minimises manufacturing time by reducing the number of passes required to lay fresh powder during a build.
Outfitted with a standard PSM powder sieve, overflow bottles transfer material between sieve and machine reducing operator contact with loose powder. PSM sieves and powder change kits allow users material flexibility while maintaining powder quality in an inert atmosphere.
