XDM 250 Mid-Size SLM 3D Printer

Detailed product description

Applications in daily production

• Tooling inserts and mould components with conformal cooling channels for plastic injection moulding and die casting.
• Aluminium and titanium structural brackets for automotive, motorsport and aerospace validation programmes.
• Cobalt-chrome dental frameworks, partial dentures and orthopaedic trial implants.
• Stainless and nickel-based flow components such as manifolds, swirlers and burner nozzles.
• Small-series production of spare parts where a conventional casting or forging route is no longer economical.

Quality stability

• Layer-wise monitoring records melt-pool and recoating data for every build, so deviations are visible immediately rather than after post-processing. Combined with the homogenous gas flow, this produces repeatable mechanical properties and reduces the scrap rate on thin-walled and tall parts. Build logs are stored and can be exported for customer quality documentation.

Flexibility for different users

• Because the parameter set is fully open, the same machine can run a validated production recipe for a certified alloy in the morning and an experimental scan strategy in the afternoon. Users can define their own scan paths, hatch strategies and support rules, which is particularly valuable for academic groups and for companies developing proprietary lattice or thermal structures.

Integration and footprint

• With a footprint of 1670 × 1140 mm and a weight of approximately two tonnes, the XDM 250 fits comfortably into a standard industrial unit. Powder handling takes place through the bottom-feed system, and the external auxiliary module reduces heat load and noise next to the operator station.
