iSLM600QN Ultimate

Machine Advantages

The iSLM600QN Ultimate configuration features an IPG Photonics fiber laser, while the iSLM600QN Value configuration is equipped with a Max Photonics fiber laser.

The printer incorporates advanced features to streamline its operation and enhance print quality. It utilizes programmable user software to provide flexibility and customization options for users. Data packages are tailored for different material building.

Its high vacuum and low-leaking mechanical design maintain optimal printing conditions, contributing to consistent output. Intelligent partitioning laser scanning paths optimize printing efficiency and speed. Moreover, the printer can directly delete damaged parts during the printing process, minimizing errors and waste.

Monitoring and control are facilitated through a dedicated printing info app, which provides real-time updates and smart notifications to users, further enhancing the overall printing experience.

Printing in SLM

SLM is a 3D printing technology that uses metallic powder to print metal objects instantly.

During printing, a coating mechanism (the recoater) spreads a layer of metallic powder on the printing plate and a powerful laser beam selectively melts the powder of the current layer. After the fusion is complete, the printing platform is moved down one layer, and the process is repeated until the entire object is fused. The whole process is carried out in a chamber, with a shielding gas, to prevent the metal from reacting with other gases at high temperatures.

The main advantage of SLM technology is that it offers many new options in manufacturing metal parts, such as geometric freedom in design, weight reduction, flexibility in prototyping, and speed in producing metal objects in small quantities.
