Metal 3D printer Alpha 140

SLMfor mold manufacturingfor the aerospace industry

The Alpha 140 combines innovative additive manufacturing technology with particularly simple operation at low system costs. The Alpha 140 thus offers an optimal solution for the tool-free production of metal parts, especially for small and medium-sized companies. Complex structures with the greatest geometric freedom can be mapped quickly and cost-effectively. Thanks to the open system, the customer can independently set the process parameters in the slicer according to his individual requirements. A wide range of usable metal materials is thus available through the free variation of process parameters. Perfect match - LMI and Kurtz Ersa The cooperation between Laser Melting Innovations GmbH & Co. KG (LMI), based in Aachen, and Kurtz Ersa is taking metallic 3D laser printing further. Together, they offer a cost-effective entry point for medium-sized businesses that benefit from the highest quality and very fast availability. At the same time, the Alpha 140 remains adaptable and can be tailored to customer needs. For the integrated nitrogen generator, compressed air from the customer's side is connected to the rear of the Alpha 140. In the nitrogen generator, nitrogen is generated from the connected compressed air via a membrane and used for the flooding or printing process. This means that no inert gas bottles need to be connected. The nitrogen circulates via a circulating pump from the pressure chamber via a filter back into the pressure chamber. To compensate for losses, nitrogen is replenished over time. Simple, process-safe and independent of an inert gas infrastructure!
