Powder-Bed-Based Laser Melting with Metals



rp+m, a service provider of rapid prototyping and manufacturing services, has selected Concept Laser's M2 cusing metal additive machine to strengthen its research and development competencies. "The M2 cusing will be a critical technology that will allow rp+m to develop innovative applications for its clients, due to its open architecture which enables alloy development and parameter editing," said a company spokesperson.

"rp+m has experience in developing applications, materials and processes for printing in metals, plastics and ceramic materials. rp+m was also the first to successfully manufacture collimators for medical device imaging using printed tungsten," continued the spokesperson. "rp+m is always seeking ways to be more innovative and capitalize on a first-mover opportunity," said rp+m President and CTO, Dr. Tracy Albers. "By incorporating LaserCUSING technology, or metal 3-D printing by Concept Laser, we will be able to offer more in-depth capabilities for prototype and production applications. Our job is to find the right solution for our clients - and in many cases, that solution does not yet exist. We need the ability to print with both reactive and non-reactive materials, develop proprietary alloys and adjust parameters to produce the most efficient and effective parts for our customer base. The Concept Laser technology exceeds our expectations in every area."

rp+m will be the only service bureau in the Great Lakes region with LaserCUSING technology.

The M2 cusing (power-bed based laser melting with metals) is available with a single laser of 200 W or dual laser of 400 W and is capable of printing with reactive and non-reactive material. "It is most well-known for its safety measures, through its closed-loop material handling system and patented filter-change with water passivation, both of which minimize the operator's contact with reactive powders," said the spokesperson.
