OPM250L

Sodick's unique 3D manufacturing system combines 3D metal printing with linear motor-assisted HSC milling technology, presenting itself for the first time as the industrial one-step solution for 3D metal printing. The OPM250L is ideally suited for applications in the aerospace, automotive, defense and pharmaceutical industries. One of the new developments is the "parallel mode" - a function that controls the high-speed laser so quickly that it can sinter several positions simultaneously. The operation of the OPM250L is simply expressed as follows: First, a layer of metal powder is evenly distributed and melted and sintered with a laser beam guided by a scanner (this process can be repeated up to 10 times). The surface is then machined with a high-performance milling cutter to achieve the high level of quality, precision and surface finish that would not be possible with a laser process alone. Then the uniform application of the metal powder and the subsequent process are repeated until the geometric shape is completely generated. A further advantage is the combination of the linear motor drive system and the gantry design of the machine, whereby an extremely fast and backlash-free axis movement and thus excellent positioning and machining accuracy are achieved and at the same time machine twisting is minimized. Last but not least, the dielectric cooler and the filling level control ensure a stable machining performance right from the start. Translated with DeepL
