Metal Rapid  Prototyping System  

m3Linear  (by Concept-laser, Germany)

Manufacturing Date:  Oct. 2004

Specifications:

Based on using laser micro welding of any type of metallic powder such as stainless steel, tool steel and alloy steel,  LaserCUSING ® - fusion of single-component metallic powder materials - allows the layer-by-layer construction of components from almost all metallic materials (e.g. stainless steel and hot work steel powders).

Metallic powder is hereby fully fused layer for layer to produce a 100% component density. A specially developed exposure strategy allows the generation of solid and large-volume components without any deformation. A patented surface post-treatment process directly after the construction process ensures the highest surface quality and hardness. Countless technical refinements such as automatic powder evacuation, a separately developed coating system and a circulating inert gas atmosphere make the M3 linear a machine concept in a class of its own.

The products have density up to100%, very homogeneous microstructure and industrial acceptable surface roughness. Small details and very thin walls up to 1 mm can be built efficiently without problems and near real strength.

Applications:

Metallic products: low productions batches, spare parts, tools, die and mold inserts, medical implants, etc.

3D Scanner (Laser and Mechanical Probe)  

Cyclone II   (by Renishaw, England)

Manufacturing Date:  June. 2005

Specifications:

Dedicated off-line scanning leaves machine tools free to cut metal.
High speed scanning reduces lead times from pattern to finished part.
Available with both contact and non-contact (Laser) scanning probes.
Quiet and clean in operation - allows installation in an office-like environment.
For setting data capture parameters, data manipulation and machining the Cyclone system includes Tracecut. This powerful software enables you to machine parts totally independently of the scanning strategy and the probe styli which were used.
 

Applications:

3D scanning and contour tracing of complex geometry products and curved surfaces. Reverse engineering for spare parts.
