Solutions Lasers The new generation of FormUp 350 metal 3D printer can produce parts using four 500 W lasers simultaneously, each laser covering the entire surface of the tray. The bidirectional coating system reduces non-productive times by 40% faster powder spreading cycles than mono-directional spreading. The powder supply is done in masked time, using the autonomous powder module mentioned above. Applications Specific manufacturing recipes can be developed for each application, to find the best balance between productivity and quality for each part. AddUp provides support to our customers with a unique application service on the market, based on the […]
