SUPPLIER SHOWCASE 30 NOVEMBER 2017 Additive Manufacturing SLM Solutions is a leading provider of metal-based additive manufacturing systems that optimize fast and cost-efficient part production. With multi-laser options, bi-directional recoating, an open system architecture for materials and parameters, and the safest operation with closed-loop powder handling, Selective Laser Melting systems achieve build speeds up to 70 percent faster than the competition for complex and completely dense metal parts. These powerful and innovative machines, available in three sizes with single, dual and quad laser capabilities, support an optimal approach for faster, more flexible metal part production and prototype development across the aerospace, automotive, academia, energy and medical industries. Headquartered in Lübeck, Germany, SLM Solutions Group is a publicly traded company (TecDax) with its North American offices located in Metro Detroit. P R O D U C T S / S E R V I C E S SLM Solutions NA 48561 Alpha Dr. Suite 300 Wixom, MI 48393 U.S.A. Phone: 248-243-5400 Fax: 248-243-5410 slm-solutions.us SLM 125 The SLM 125 offers a build envelope of 125 × 125 × 75 (125 optional) mm. Economical and suitable for R&D; as well as small lot production environments, the open software architecture and system parameters allow modifications according to the project's specific needs. A compact, entry level machine, the SLM 125 is equipped with a 400-W laser for maximum processing capabilities. SLM 280 The SLM 280 provides a 280 × 280 × 350 mm build envelope with upgraded gas flow and filtration for repeatable, high-quality results. The integrated SLM Build Processor and open architecture offers the freedom of controlling parameters to optimize and meet strict production needs. Multiple laser configurations allow twin 400- or 700-W lasers with overlap or maximized power with dual 400/700-W and 1,000-W fiber lasers. SLM 500 The system for high-volume metal part production, the SLM 500 increases speed, ensures operator safety and lowers operational costs. Offering up to four 400- or 700-W lasers with three overlap areas in the 500 × 280 × 365- mm build envelope, speeds are further increased with patented bi-directional layer recoating and closed-loop powder transport, eliminating time-consuming manual fills and powder handling.
