Additive Manufacturing by Selective Laser Melting (SLM)

Testing Capabilities

X-POWER offers an advanced additive manufacturing system to fabricate power electronics components, packaging, and heatsinks.

Highly complex components with function integration
Internal close-contoured cooling channels
Weight optimisation due to lattice and honeycomb structures as well as topology-optimised components
Simultaneous build-up of different designs
Functional prototypes made of series materials

High precision building of 3D parts with a focus diameter of only 35 µm
Application-specific fibre laser sources from 200 W as standard to 400 W optional
Optimised shield gas volume flow for highest component quality with minimum Argon consumption
Open system: Individual adjustment of all machine settings and process parameters as well as unrestricted selection of the material supplier
End-to-end competence with integral process understanding from drawing to finished part: DMG MORI Process Chains for pre- and post-processing of additively built parts

Automated powder handling: Integrated powder-recycling for maximum efficiency and highest work-safety due to closed material cycle
One material per rePLUG – Any expansion of the material range due to modular changing system
Contamination-free change between different materials in <2 hours
High process autonomy due to powerful duo filter system (filter change without process interruption) as well as large powder reservoir (no manual refilling required in the process)
rePLUG RESEARCH The additional powder module, especially developed for the material and process parameter development on the series system
