First Metal 3D Printer to Offer Remote Control Laser Beam to Significantly Reduce Print Times

Optomec Inc. has introduced a new metal additive manufacturing machine specifically designed for high volume production with automated part-handling options and operator-friendly production software for error-free job sequencing in a manufacturing setting.

The HC-TBR is a compact, all-in-one Metal Additive Manufacturing machine that uses LENS® Directed Energy Deposition (DED) to build or repair 3D metal parts with a wide variety of alloys. In particular, this new machine is capable of processing reactive metal alloys such as titanium and aluminum at high volume in an oxygen-free chamber to ensure superior mechanical properties.

Using advanced laser optics, the machine can remotely change the size and power profile of its laser beam, enabling significant reductions in print times. This is a first for the industry.

The machine was designed in response to manufacturers in several industries who are seeking lower cost methods of producing and repairing titanium components as the industrial use of titanium continues to grow worldwide.
