Nikon Corporation has unveiled its latest metal additive manufacturing system, the Lasermeister LM300A, alongside the Lasermeister SB100 3D scanner. Designed for industrial use, these innovations streamline the repair process for turbine blades and molds.
The LM300A, a Directed Energy Deposition (DED) system, boasts an expanded build area and integrates the SB100 scanner for automated tool path generation. This pairing significantly reduces lead times and minimizes post-processing requirements, making it ideal for various industries, including automotive and machinery.
Key benefits include seamless scanning and tool path generation, achieved by simply placing the workpiece inside the SB100 for automated scanning and measurement. The LM300A ensures high-precision processing for a range of metal materials, including nickel-based alloy, stainless steel, high-speed steel, and titanium alloy.
With dimensions of 1800 mm x 1350 mm x 2085 mm and weighing 1350 kg, the LM300A offers a maximum processing range of X: 297 mm, Y: 210 mm, Z: 400 mm. Meanwhile, the SB100, weighing 730 kg, features a maximum scanning size of Φ330 mm x H: 450 mm.
With streamlined workflows, automated processes, and high-precision capabilities, these new systems from Nikon offer tremendous value to industries seeking efficient and effective solutions for part repair and fabrication.
