Concept Laser Beats Own Record with Largest Laser Metal 3D Printer
It may have passed somewhat under the radar, as Concept Laser already produces and sells the largest selective laser melting 3D printer in the world, the X line 1000, but the new X line 2000R, recently presented by the German company, has now set a new record for build volume in high precision metal 3D printing.
Used primarily in the aerospace and automotive industries (Concept Laser is one of Airbus’ largest suppliers and will soon announce the first customers for the new system), the X line 2000R increases the build volume of the X line 1000 by 27%, from 126 to 160 liters. The exact measurements are 800 x 400 x 500 mm, which is two to three times larger than that offered by competitors with laser melting metal 3D printing capabilities.
At the heart of the new system is the dual laser system, with each ray offering 1000?watts of power. Although it is not the only factor, this contributes to increased build speed, as the build area is exposed simultaneously from two different positions. In spite of larger size and higher speeds, the X line 2000R will look almost identical to the X line 1000, thanks to a new sieving station. This new system uses as quiet vibrating sieve instead of the tumbler sieve, thus reducing the system’s overall footprint, with a fully enclosed design that keeps the surrounding area clean and uncluttered.
The dose unit has also been redesigned, and the dose chamber is now filled completely in a single cycle. The benefits offered by the X line 2000R?also include the closed, automated powder circuit in an inert gas atmosphere, which is important for the safety of the operators and allows optimum powder quality, and the standard filter that can be water-flood passivated, in order to guarantee safety when changing the filter.
Customers also have an option available for two build modules to ensure maximum productivity, allowing the operator to set up the next job while the first build is still in progress, or to start a new job while still unpacking the last one. Last year Concept Laser was building a new factory; this year it is setting records for the largest 3D printer and customers such a Mapal are beginning to use them for serial manufacturing of end use tools. This year marks the 15th year that Concept Laser has been in business, but it certainly looks like we are only at the very beginning of a very long cycle.

Concept Laser推出最新巨型金属3D打印机刷新自己的记录Concept激光击败自己的纪录与最大的激光金属3D打印机
它可能已经过了一段时间的雷达,因为概念激光已经生产和销售世界上最大的选择性激光熔化3D打印机,X线1000,但新X线2000 R,最近由德国公司提出,现在已经建立了一个新的纪录,在高精度建造体积。金属3D打印。
主要用于航空航天和汽车行业(概念激光是空中客车公司最大的供应商之一,并很快将宣布第一批客户对新系统),在X线2000R增加在X线1000的生成量27%,从126至160升。确切的测量是800×400×500毫米,这比通过用激光熔化金属三维打印功能竞争对手提供较大的两到三倍。
在新系统的心脏是双激光系统,每个线提供1000?瓦的功率。虽然它并不是唯一的因素,这有助于增加建造速度,作为构建区域从两个不同的位置同时暴露。尽管更大的尺寸和更高的速度,在X线2000R的外观几乎相同的X线1000,由于采用了新的筛分站。这个新的系统采用安静振动筛滚筒筛代替,从而降低了系统的整体尺寸,采用了全封闭设计,保持周边地区的干净,整洁。
剂量单位也被重新设计,所述剂量室是目前在单个周期完全填充。由X线2000R所提供的好处?还包括封闭的,自动化的粉末电路在惰性气体气氛中,这对操作人员的安全重要,并允许最佳粉末的质量,并在标准的过滤器,可以是水洪水钝化,为了更换过滤器时,以保证安全。
客户也可以提供两个构建模块的选择,以确保最高的生产率,使运营商能够建立下一个作业而第一个版本是仍在进行中,或者开始新的工作,同时还拆包最后一个。去年理念激光是建新厂;今年它设置为最大的3D打印机记录和客户这样的MAPAL都开始使用他们的终端使用工具系列生产。今年是第15年了激光概念已经在企业,但它肯定看起来我们只是在一个很长的周期的开始。
