Upgraded AM Systems and In-Process Melt-Pool Monitoring
SLM Solutions
Booth 1713
SLM Solutions presents its SLM 280 2.0 upgraded selective- laser-melting system, featuring increased laser power and advanced gas flow. With a build chamber reportedly 23-percent larger than competing machines and twin 700-W lasers, the SLM 280 2.0 promises productive metal AM.
The company also unveils its in-process melt-pool monitoring on an SLM 125 machine. As verification of processes and quali- fication of production components becomes increasingly impor- tant, melt-pool moni- toring detects thermal emissions from the melt pool in real time and archives the data as part of the build record. Such in-process monitoring improves the build process by allowing builds to be aborted if defects are detected or adjust- ments to be made dur- ing the print. Effective analysis and improvement of build param-
eters is advanced through the recorded data.

New DED Machine Significantly Reduces Floorspace
BeAM Machines Inc. Booth 1937
At RAPID + TCT, BeAM Machines Inc., Cincinnati, OH, is tak- ing pre-orders for its Modulo five-axis DED (directed-energy- deposition) machine.
Making the Modulo
unique is its integrat-
ed peripherals, according to company officials. Typical DED sys- tems place the required secondary equipment (laser, chiller, fume extractor, etc.) outside of the machine envelope, requiring a considerable amount of floorspace in addition to that occupied by the machine. The Modulo fully integrates all required periph- erals into the machine cabinet, significantly reducing the total required floorspace.
