RAPID PROTOTYPING

Direct Metal Laser Sintering (DMLS-EOS)

Based on layer-build technology, the EOS EOSINT M 270 Xtended system operates using a fine 20 micron thick metal powder material evenly spread over the build area in 20 micron thick layers. A powerful 250w CO² laser fuses or melts together the individual layers which are evenly delivered by the recoating arm. The end result is a 98% dense component with an excellent surface finish, manufactured to 3D CAD data with a repeatable accuracy of +/-50 microns.
