ZRapid iSLM350/350D Industrial SLM 3D Printer (2024)

The ZRapid iSLM350/350D Industrial SLM 3D Printerutilizes selective laser melting technology, a process in additive manufacturing that melts metal powders and solidifies them layer by layer to build a three-dimensional part. During 3D printing with metal, the ZRapid iSLM350/350D 3D Printer features a ruler in the build chamber that paves one layer of metal powder. A fiber laser then selectively fuses the powder by tracing the cross-section of the part on the surface of the powder bed. Afterward, a new coat of material is applied for the subsequent layer. This entire process takes place in a high vacuum chamber or a chamber filled with protective gas to prevent the metal powder from reacting with oxygen at high temperatures.

The ZRapid iSLM350/350D SLM 3D Printeris equipped with a fast galvanometer and the advanced iSLM Control System, enabling the equipment to complete complex parts in a very short period. In contrast, conventional methods might take several weeks or even months. The result is parts with precise dimensions, high tensile strength, and high density, along with excellent mechanical properties. This industrial 3D printer is primarily used for the rapid production of high-precision, high-quality metal parts.

Auxiliary Equipment

Industrial Chiller: In metal additive manufacturing, lasers or electron beams used for melting the metal powder generate substantial heat. Chillers help dissipate this heat to prevent damage and maintain performance. It ensures the longevity and reliability of the printer.

Vacuum Drying Oven: A vacuum drying oven removes moisture and contaminants from metal powders and printed parts by creating a low-pressure environment. This process ensures optimal powder flow and prevents defects in the final parts. It helps maintain material quality and print consistency.

Inert Gas Sieving Machine: An inert gas sieving machine cleans and refines metal powders by removing contaminants and moisture in a controlled environment. It ensures consistent particle sizes and prevents oxidation, maintaining powder quality. This enhances the performance and reliability of the printing process, leading to better final part quality.

Galvanometer Calibrator: A galvanometer calibrator is used to ensure precise alignment and calibration of the laser scanning system. It measures and adjusts the accuracy of the galvanometer mirrors that direct the laser or electron beam. Proper calibration is essential for achieving consistent and accurate part dimensions.

Heat Treatment Furnace: A heat treatment furnace is used to alter the mechanical properties of printed parts through controlled heating and cooling. It relieves residual stresses, improves strength, and enhances material properties. This process ensures the final parts meet desired performance and durability standards.

Explosion Proof Vacuum Cleaner: An explosion-proof vacuum cleaner safely collects and contains metal powder and debris, reducing the risk of fires or explosions due to the flammable nature of metal dust. It ensures a clean and safe working environment. This equipment helps maintain operational safety and prevents contamination.
