6 EOSINT M 280 Features & benefits EOSINT M W laser option Z axis stroke 325mm Improved process gas management ("laminar flow") Tidier process chamber Optional glove-box door (later) EOS 2011 EOSINT M 280 Joseph Weilhammer Seite 6

7 EOSINT M 280 features & benefits 400W laser Feature 400W laser option Benefits Higher build speed and productivity At least for aluminium, better part quality and surface Due to very high heat conductivity of aluminium Laser Upgrade for M280 from 200W to 400W possible Parameter sets from M270 Dual Mode are compatible with M280/200W New Speed and TopSpeed parameter are available for M280/400W EOS 2011 EOSINT M 280 Joseph Weilhammer Seite 7

8 EOSINT M 280 features & benefits Z axis stroke 325mm Features Z stroke 325mm Benefits Possibility to build on higher preforms than currently possible. Higher build height (+110mm) EROWA Powerchuck 150 DirectBase TS36P Enlarged building height for production of higher parts/jobs. Maximum build height can be achieved with a full dispenser hopper and well compacted powder in dispenser. Depending on part geometry, material and layer thickness a reduction of the standard recoating factor allows also dispense less surplus powder for recoating. Working with EROWA clamping system, allows now more than 210mm building height for high precise manufacturing applications. Offers optimal compromise between build height (289mm) and reference point accuracy/position-repeatability. Notes: Increased process chamber opening height of 372mm offers user friendly handling of big build-jobs. Also easily accessible with lifting trolley, e.g. for transport of clamping system-unit, hybrid mould-devices or any heavy load in or out of the process chamber.

9 EOSINT M 280 features & benefits Improved gas flow in process chamber Gas flow in process chamber LAS400N recirculation filter system delivers continuous gas flow with high volume rate 60% gas volume rate produce a laminar flow above powder bed Diffuser nozzle blows 40% of gas flow from rear wall Exhaust nozzle in front sucks in condensate and spatter EOS 2011 EOSINT M 280 Joseph Weilhammer Seite 9

10 EOSINT M 280 features & benefits Improved gas flow in process chamber Gas flow in EOSINT M 270 Gas flow in EOSINT M 280 Blowing nozzle through back wall of process chamber Build area Removable suction nozzle by process chamber door EOS 2011 EOSINT M 280 Joseph Weilhammer Seite 10

11 EOSINT M 280 features & benefits Improved gas flow in process chamber Gas flow in EOSINT M 280 higher flow velocity (~3 m/s) unidirectional atmosphere flow same conditions over whole platform Benefit more uniform and robust process effective smoke removal, also with 400W Blowing nozzle Build area clean lens, even after long jobs Removable suction nozzle EOS 2011 EOSINT M 280 Joseph Weilhammer Seite 11

12 EOSINT M 280 features & benefits Improved gas flow in process chamber Benefits More uniform and robust process over the whole build envelope. Same conditions over whole platform. Enables higher productivity with 400W option. Improved gas flow is important, because high intensity laser vaporizes more powder to condensate and produce more spatter from melt pool. Reduced surface roughness, because spatter are sucked away and will be not sintered in the part surface area. Recoating speed could be increased %. Now up to 150mm/sec recoating speed is possible with laminar flow, because less spatter fall on top of sintered layer area. Note: recoating time is about 30% of total building time. Keeps optics window clean during very longer built jobs. Cleaner process chamber also when running smoky powders like IN718 or PH1. Safety - The reactive condensate will be sucked away immediately above melt pool. Minimal amount of condensate remains in the process chamber. EOS 2011 EOSINT M 280 Joseph Weilhammer Seite 12

13 EOSINT M 280 features & benefits Improved Process Gas Management Features Pre-flooding of LAS 400N [1] Benefits Argon consumption 30-50% less compared to M270 IM Xtd. Fine-tuned, intelligent timed and automatic pre-flooding mode minimizes Ar consumption. Only 10min pre-flooding time before job start are now required to purge process chamber, LAS400N and pipes in parallel. Separate circuit for lens-cleaning [1] Dual Mode [1] Average Ar consumption during job is about 5-10 l/min. M280 is capable of processing all materials compatible with Ar or N2 gas atmospheres. Gas type is automatically selected by loading a parameter set, e.g. selecting MS1_Speed 1.0 automatically switches to nitrogen, selecting Ti64_Performance1.0 automatically switches to argon. Two connection for bottle gas [1] Machine is already equipped with a further gas connection, e.g. for N2 bottles. PSW software is capable of switching between gas types and thresholds. Relevant for R&D or process evaluation. [1] These features are also available for EOSINT M 270 Dual Mode EOS 2011 EOSINT M 280 Joseph Weilhammer Seite 13

14 EOSINT M 280 features & benefits Tidier process chamber Benefits New, ergonomic and user friendly design of the process chamber: Stainless steel covers New recoater design Removable exhaust nozzle Integrated LED strips Modified door/lock Door-way height 372mm EOS 2011 EOSINT M 280 Joseph Weilhammer Seite 14

15 EOSINT M 280 features & benefits Tidier process chamber Features Stainless steel covers Removable exhaust nozzle Modified door/lock Door-way height 372mm New recoater design LED stripes Door handle Benefits Stainless steel covers on side walls reduce dirty corners. Saves time between jobs. Cleaning from job 2 job takes only 5 min. Easy removable exhaust nozzle in front allows a user friendly cleaning and offers good access to process chamber. Reinforced door and door-lock design for optimal gas-tight sealing. Door-frame is already prepared for glove box door. Increased door-way offers user friendly handling of parts and powder. Recoater arm design with optimized profile and glossy faces reduce dust collecting effect also during very long build jobs. Powerful LED process chamber light. Now countersinked in the process chamber sealing. Ergonomic PA2202 black laser sintered and shot peened door handle. EOS 2011 EOSINT M 280 Joseph Weilhammer Seite 15
