DMG MORI Develops, Manufactures Lasertec 30 SLM for US Market

DMG MORI has launched the domestic development and manufacturing of its Lasertec 30 SLM US, which features adaptive beam control, to address the rising demands of the U.S. market. 

The Lasertec30 SLM US will start delivery December 2023. The machine is designed to offer best-in-class cost per part and complex geometries in an envelope of 11.8 × 11.8 × 11.8 in. The machine features several key advancements, including adaptive beam control which enables dynamic changes to laser power, laser speed and laser beam profile.

Noncontact recoating improves the freedom and independence of powder spreading. It offers best-in-industry production cost using an optional hybrid toolpath strategy that dynamically changes between laser beam profiles using a 1.2 kW laser, the company says. 

With R&D and manufacturing for additive manufacturing (AM) in the U.S., Japan and Germany, DMG MORI aims to answer the growing demand for additive technologies in the U.S. market and abroad. All this contributes to the supply chain resilience and supports export-regulated applications or industries in local markets. The company says the Lasertec30 SLM US will be the first AM product to fulfill this requirement.

As a provider of machine tool manufacturing, DMG MORI has expanded its portfolio of conventional manufacturing methods with additive technologies since 2013. Its LasertecDED hybrid and LasertecSLM models enable highly productive and reliable manufacture of additive metal components within the holistic DMG MORI ecosystem, going from metal powder to high-precision finish machining.

In the Additive Intelligence consulting unit, DMG MORI also supports beginners and experienced users in fully exploiting the potential of metallic 3D printing. DMG MORI partners with customers for the next generation of manufacturing method through continuously developing innovative solutions in AM and metal processing.

The launch of the Lasertec30 SLM US coincides with the 40th anniversary year of DMG MORI USA. It marks another growth milestone for the company in the U.S. With 12 locations in the U.S. featuring technology centers, showrooms and the DMG MORI Manufacturing USA production facility in Davis, California, 

DMG MORI has built up a regional presence in the country to support local customers. Further, it contributes to developing the skill set in the local workforce, which also serves the local communities.
