Compact Metal 3D Printer with Two Lasers for Dental Production

FastForm FF-M220 is an industrial metal 3D printer with two lasers and a working area of 220 × 140 × 100 mm, designed for the production of dental structures and compact functional parts using SLM technology. The dual-laser system allows for parallel processing of different areas of the powder layer, increasing the productivity of batch printing. The working platform measuring 220 × 140 mm is suitable for simultaneously placing several crowns, bridge structures, or dental prosthesis frames. Bidirectional powder application and model preparation software tools help optimize the production process.

Advantages of FastForm FF-M220

  • Productive printing with two lasers. The dual-laser system allows for parallel formation of different areas of metal parts, reducing build time under appropriate printing conditions.
  • Working area for dental structures. The platform measuring 220 × 140 mm allows for the placement of a group of crowns, bridge structures, or frames within a single task. The maximum build height is 100 mm.
  • Bidirectional powder application. A flexible scraper distributes metal powder during movement in both directions, reducing the number of idle movements between successive layers.
  • LFPT Technology. Laser Following Powder Technology tracks the powder application trajectory in real-time. FastForm claims a reduction in layer application time by 9 seconds and an efficiency increase of 20% for this technology.
  • Quick-release base plate. Magnetic mounting simplifies the installation and removal of the base plate after printing is complete.
  • Long-lasting filtration system. A permanent filter with a claimed lifespan of 30,000 hours reduces the need for regular filter element replacement.
  • Support for metal powders. The printer is designed to work with stainless steel, titanium, and cobalt-chromium alloys used for functional parts and dental structures.

Dual-Laser System and Working Area 220 × 140 × 100 mm

FastForm FF-M220 is equipped with two laser sources that can process different areas of the powder layer in parallel. This configuration is aimed at producing a group of compact metal parts in a single production cycle.

The build area is 220 × 140 × 100 mm. The working platform area allows for the placement of several dental structures, and the height of 100 mm is suitable for manufacturing small metal products. When composing models, it is necessary to consider their geometry, orientation, supports, and distance between parts.

The laser spot size is 50–80 µm, and the layer thickness is adjustable within 30–60 µm. The layer thickness determines the vertical build step, while the laser spot size characterizes the area of laser beam impact on the metal powder.

Batch Production of Dental Structures

FastForm FF-M220 is oriented towards dental production, where it is important to manufacture several metal structures in one printing cycle. The working platform 220 × 140 mm allows for the composition of crowns, bridge structures, dental prosthesis frames, and other compact products.

Two laser sources provide the ability to process the powder layer in parallel, which helps reduce build time during batch printing. The actual number of products on the platform and the manufacturing time depend on their size, geometry, orientation, material, and process parameters.

The build height of 100 mm allows the printer to be used for dental structures and small functional parts that do not require a larger vertical working area.

LFPT and Bidirectional Metal Powder Application

For forming uniform powder layers in FastForm FF-M220, a flexible scraper with bidirectional application is used. The recoater distributes metal powder during movement in both directions, reducing the number of idle movements and helping to shorten the preparation time for the next layer.

The LFPT (Laser Following Powder Technology) involves tracking the powder application trajectory in real-time. For this system, FastForm claims a reduction in the time to apply one layer by 9 seconds and an efficiency increase of 20%. The actual result depends on the equipment configuration and printing parameters.

FastLayer and FastFab for Preparation and Printing Launch

For model preparation and control of the metal 3D printing process, the software solutions FastLayer and FastFab are used.

FastLayer is designed for the preparation and composition of dental structures on the working platform. The software supports automation of model placement, which helps reduce the preparation time for batch tasks. For composing dental crowns, FastForm claims the possibility of automatic execution of the operation with one click within 5 minutes.

FastFab provides the launch of a prepared print task with one click. The combination of software tools simplifies the workflow from model composition to the start of metal part manufacturing.

Protective Gas and Filtration System

For forming a protective atmosphere during laser melting of metal powder, FastForm FF-M220 uses nitrogen or argon. Protective gas is used to control the atmosphere in the working chamber and limit unwanted interaction of molten metal with oxygen.

The printer is equipped with a permanent filtration system with a claimed filter lifespan of 30,000 hours. This design reduces the need for regular replacement of the filter element. The specified resource applies directly to the filter and does not determine the service life of other equipment components.

Compatible Metals and Alloys

FastForm FF-M220 is designed for SLM printing with metal powders, including stainless steel, titanium, and cobalt-chromium alloys. The choice of material depends on the purpose of the product, the required mechanical properties, and the requirements for the finished structure.

  • Stainless steel. Suitable for manufacturing functional metal parts, prototypes, small casing elements, fasteners, and technological components.
  • Titanium alloys. Used for parts where a combination of low weight, mechanical strength, and corrosion resistance is important. Used for individual structures, medical components, and compact functional parts.
  • Cobalt-chromium alloys. Especially relevant for dental production. Used for manufacturing dental prosthesis frames, crowns, bridge structures, and other metal elements for dental work.

The specific powder grade and printing parameters need to be selected according to compatibility with the equipment and the requirements for the finished product.
