Mlab Cusing 200R
The GE Additive Concept Laser Mlab Cusing 200R is a premier DMLM machine known for its versatility and ability to produce a wide range of components, including prototypes, production parts, and tooling. It efficiently processes a variety of metal powders, including stainless steel, titanium, nickel alloys, and cobalt-chrome alloys.
Among 3D printing technologies, Direct Metal Laser Melting (DMLM), also known as Selective Laser Melting (SLM), stands out as an additive manufacturing process that utilizes a high-power laser to fuse metal powder particles. This method meticulously crafts intricate three-dimensional objects from a computer-aided design (CAD) file. Employing a powder bed fusion approach, the Mlab Cusing 200R builds the part layer by layer from a bed of metal powder.
Compared to traditional subtractive manufacturing methods, such as machining and casting, selective laser fusion has several advantages.
DMLM excels at creating complex geometries with internal cavities, undercuts, and free-forms that would be difficult or impossible to produce using conventional methods; eliminating the need for tooling, DMLM builds the part directly from the CAD file, streamlining production time and reducing costs.
DMLM achieves near-net-shape quality and mechanical properties comparable to those of wrought metal.
Selective Laser Melting is ideal for rapid prototyping and low-volume production to produce parts quickly and with minimal scrap.
Optimization of Filtration Costs in Selective Laser Melting.
While the Mlab Cusing 200R boasts exceptional capabilities, its original four-filter system can lead to substantial consumable expenses, especially during heavy use.
To address this challenge, Depurex has developed an innovative solution that replaces the four filters with a single, high-performance filter.
Key Benefits:
- 50% Cost Reduction: The new filter offers a lower initial cost and longer life, effectively cutting filter replacement costs in half.
- Enhanced Durability: With an increased filtration area, the new filter boasts a 25% longer life span, reducing maintenance frequency and overall costs.
For the 3D printing sector as well, Depurex designs and manufactures bespoke filtration solutions, developed to meet specific technical challenges and ensure significant optimization of operational costs.
Our strengths are our design capabilities and in-depth knowledge of materials and filtration solutions, which enable us to develop effective and efficient filtration systems. Finally, our flexibility allows us to produce filtration systems in small quantities to meet different needs.
