Industrial 3D Printer with 500W for Large-Format SLM Printing
FastForm FF-M800 500W×8 is an industrial SLM 3D printer with eight laser sources, each with a power of 500W, designed for additive manufacturing of metal parts. The build area of 650 × 650 × 1100 mm allows for working with large-sized products and placing multiple parts within a single task. The scanning speed reaches 10 m/s, and the productivity of one laser beam ranges from 10 to 25 cm³/h depending on the geometry, size of the part, material, and process parameters.
Advantages of FastForm FF-M800
- Eight 500W lasers. The FF-M800 500W×8 configuration is equipped with eight laser sources, each with a power of 500W. The multi-laser scheme is designed to work in the build area of 650 × 650 × 1100 mm.
- Large working volume. The build area measures 650 × 650 × 1100 mm. It allows for the production of large-sized metal parts or placing several products within the available volume.
- Productivity of each laser beam from 10 to 25 cm³/h. The actual figure depends on the shape and size of the part, metal material, and set process parameters.
- Adjustable powder layer. The layer thickness is adjustable from 20 to 150 µm. The parameter is set according to the specific SLM printing task.
- Automatic powder supply. The FF-M800 is standardly equipped with an automatic supply function. The powder tank capacity is 55 liters, and there are two 350-liter tanks for collection.
- Protective atmosphere control. The minimum oxygen content is no more than 100 ppm, and the argon or nitrogen consumption does not exceed 8 l/min.
Eight Lasers for a Large Build Area
The FastForm FF-M800 500W×8 modification works with eight laser sources of 500W each. For each beam, the productivity is indicated from 10 to 25 cm³/h, which depends on the geometry of the product, its dimensions, material, and SLM process parameters. The laser spot is adjustable within 80–120 µm. The maximum scanning speed is 10 m/s. A high-precision digital grid is used in the scanning system. The repeatability accuracy of scanning is ≤2 µrad, linearity 99.9%, range ±20%, temperature scale drift 8 ppm/°C. The build area of 650 × 650 × 1100 mm defines the FF-M800 as a model for large-format metal 3D printing.
Build Accuracy
The powder layer thickness is adjustable from 20 to 150 µm. The printing accuracy for parts up to 100 mm is ±0.1 mm. For parts over 100 mm, the indicated value is ±0.1% × L mm. The overlap accuracy of working zones is less than ±0.03 mm. This parameter characterizes the alignment of laser working areas in a multi-laser configuration. The positioning of the Z-axis is controlled by an optical ruler. The platform heating is maintained up to 200 °C.
Metal Powder Supply and Collection
The FF-M800 has a standard automatic powder supply. The tank capacity is 55 liters, which corresponds to the printer's format and its build area. Powder application can be performed in one or two directions. A flexible recoater is used for layer formation. Powder application control and Light Following function are also supported. Two 350-liter tanks are provided for powder collection. The base plate is bolted.
Protective Gas and Continuous Filtration
During SLM printing, the FF-M800 works with argon or nitrogen. The protective gas consumption is no more than 8 l/min, and the minimum oxygen content is maintained at ≤100 ppm. The continuous filtration system has a filter element resource of no less than 30,000 hours. The filtration efficiency is 99.9%. These parameters define the characteristics of the gas and filtration parts of the printer when working with metal powder.
