Germany’s Concept Laser has released what is reportedly the world’s largest selective laser melting 3D printer for metal powders.
3Dprintingindustry.com reports that the company’s new X line 2000R has a build chamber of 800 x 400 x 500 mm, an increase of 27 per cent on its X Line 1000 machine’s build volume.
Powder in the chamber of the new machine is melted by a dual laser system, with both rays 1,000 watts.
Melbourne’s Monash University boasts the first installed unit of Concept Laser’s previous biggest model, the X Line 1000R.
Concept Laser’s machines are used in aerospace, automotive and other industries, with Airbus a major client. Last week it was reported that Germany’s Mapal would be using CL’s LaserCUSING machines for series production of insert drills.
