M50E

A compact desktop system designed for teaching and training environments. Operates without inert gas, making it straightforward to install in university labs and vocational settings where argon infrastructure is not available.

Build volume
Ø70 × 50 mm
Laser configuration
1 × 200W fibre laser

Image placeholder

M100 Series

Built for dental, medical, and small-scale R&D applications. A production-grade system in a compact footprint, with full inert atmosphere control.

Build volume
100 × 100 × 100 mm
Laser configuration
1 × 500W IPG fibre laser

Image placeholder

M150 Series

A step up in build volume for medical device production, jewellery, and university research programmes. The optional second laser increases productivity without changing the machine's footprint.

Build volume
150 × 150 × 150 mm
Laser configuration
1 × 500W IPG fibre laser (optional dual-laser configuration)

Image placeholder

M280 Series

The workhorse of the range. A dual-laser system sized for industrial prototyping, tooling, and short-run production across aerospace, automotive, and engineering applications.

Build volume
250 × 250 × 320 mm
Laser configuration
2 × 500W IPG fibre lasers

Image placeholder

M480 Series

Extended build area for larger components and multi-part batch production. Suited to engineering firms producing functional prototypes and production tooling at scale.

Build volume
480 × 320 × 300 mm
Laser configuration
2 × 500W IPG fibre lasers

Image placeholder

M500

A quad-laser production platform for high-throughput manufacturing. The four independent lasers significantly reduce build times on large or multi-part builds.

Build volume
500 × 400 × 300 mm
Laser configuration
4 × 500W IPG fibre lasers

Image placeholder

M650

The largest system in the range. Configurable with up to eight lasers for maximum throughput on large-scale aerospace, energy, and defence components. Over a metre of Z-axis travel for tall, complex builds.

Build volume
625 × 625 × 1,100 mm
Laser configuration
4 or 8 × 500W IPG fibre lasers
