GE Additive M2 Cusing
The Concept Laser M2 Cusing.
GE Additive has announced the release of a new version Concept Laser M2 range with several hardware and process enhancements.
The updates have been made to both the M2 cusing and M2 cusing multilaser machines, and have been implemented to satisfy the ever-growing demands of industry users.
In addition to updated software and additional sensors for data analytics, the Concept Laser machines now boasts a new and improved gas flow system, cooling unit, and build environment. The gas flow system now has a closed inert gas circuit and is backed by redundant oxygen monitoring to improve the flow of gases through the build chamber. Said build chamber has been expanded, with an increase from 250 mm to 350 mm in the Z-axis, to allow for larger structures to be manufactured in one piece. A new cooling unit, meanwhile, benefits from a temperature controlled environment monitored by multiple new sensors, which help to prevent influence from external and internal temperature changes.
The M2 cusing range has been on the market for several years and is used by the likes of the US Naval Researcgh Laboratory, the KLS Martin Group and the Air Force Institute of Technology. It has been trusted by some of the leading organisation within some of the most demanding vertical markets, and now with an array of enhancements is set to build on its reputation. GE believes these added features will help increase productivity, reliability and reduce overall operating costs, and meet the demanding requirements of many of its customers.
“Customers, especially in the aerospace and medical industries, have high expectations,” commented Meddag Hadjar, General Manager, Additive Laser Products at GE Additive. “For that reason, we continuously review our solutions portfolio to confirm we are offering the right machines and the right materials for an ever-demanding range of applications.”
The new machines are available to order immediately.
