Printing Applications up to One Meter High
March 1, 2021
AMCM, an EOS Group company, has announced the serial production of its AMCM M 4K-1 (single laser) and AMCM M 4K-4 (four laser) industrial DMLS metal 3D printing platforms.
Built on the EOS M 400 platform, the AMCM M 4K is tailored to produce large applications, with a height up to one meter (39.37"). Additional features include increased robustness of the frame design, a new filter system (RFS 2.0) and optional soft recoating. Out of the box, the AMCM M 4K is designed to produce applications from a wide range of materials, including aluminum (AlSi10Mg), nickel alloy (IN718) and copper alloy (CuCr1Zr).
Additional details of the AMCM M 4K platform:
- Large building volume: 450 mm x 450 mm x 1,000 mm
- Laser type: Yb Fiber laser: 1 x 1,000 watt, 4 x 400 watt or optional 4 x 1,000 watt
- Wave length: 1,070 nm
- Precision optics: F-theta-lens
- Scan speed during build process: up to 7.0 m/s (23 ft./sec)
- Process gas cooling: additional gas cooling unit (optional)
- Dimensions of complete system: (W x D x H): 193" x 83" x 122"
- Compatible with legacy EOS M 400 Series process parameter sets
- Powder handling option for manual or semi-automatic operation
- Open software for process optimization with high power laser.
Powder bed DMLS 3D printing is designed for use in demanding applications. "With the help of AMCM, Launcher was one such organization that realized very early in the AMCM M 4K's development that it could now produce-using the DMLS method-its copper alloy E-2 combustion chamber, the world's largest 3D printed liquid rocket engine," said a company spokesperson. According to Launcher CEO Max Haot, "The AMCM M 4K solved both our desire to 3D print a tall combustion chamber in a single piece and produce it in a copper material," he said. "Printing in a single piece reduces cost and enables the highest-performance regenerative cooling design."
