Five things you need to know

The LASERTEC 30 SLM US breaks the mold of incumbent technology as the machine features several advancements. First is Adaptive Beam Control enabling dynamic changes to laser power, laser speed, and laser beam profile on the fly. This, coupled with a streamlined product, delivers the best cost per part. Then, on the quality side, engineers have optimized the gas flow for increased process stability and uniformity of materials across the build platform. Additionally, powder delivery and mechanical elements have all been designed for consistent reliability and performance.

DMG MORI LASERTEC 30 SLM US machines stand for high-precision selective laser melting (SLM) with powder bed processing, offering additive manufacturing of highly complex components and parts with functional integration. This is ideal for the medical device manufacturing market where many products are designed with structures that mimic the performance of natural bone and promote osseointegration for orthopedic implants.

Featuring an envelope of 300mm x 300mm x 300mm, the LASERTEC 30 SLM US supports precision building of workpieces with a 1 x 1,000W programmable laser with 80µm to 240µm spot size. The system offers discrete powder tracking for critical industries so manufacturers can track the lot of material used and the amount of time the material has been cycled. Additionally, contactless recoating improves the freedom and independence of powder spreading.

The LASERTEC 30 SLM US is designed, developed, and manufactured in the U.S. at DMG MORI Manufacturing USA in Davis, California. The system features best-in-industry production cost, reducing typical barriers to entry when a company is considering incorporating additive manufacturing into its operations. Full engagement for customer success is achieved by having sales, support, and spare parts local, users can collaborate with DMG MORI at their various AM focused facilities from the factory in California, or the two AMECs in Chicago and Los Angeles.

e CELOS – the app-based user interface – offers a simple software solution that covers CAM programming, process parameter calculation, and machine control tasks. Beyond the machine level, CELOS supports Production Planning and Service from the Shopfloor Level to the management level across all installed machines.

The machine has a 100% open system, making it simple to customize machine settings and process parameters. Additionally, there are no restrictions on selecting material suppliers. Also, the LASERTEC 30 SLM US offers seamless data transfer, enabling pre- and post-processing on high-precision DMG MORI milling centers.

DMG MORI provides solutions for the entire process chain – from the initial drawing to the finished workpiece – reinventing metal production for medical device manufacturing.
