Systems

M50E

M50E

A compact desktop system designed specifically for teaching and training environments. Operates without inert gas and single phase electricity making it straightforward to install and operate. The zinc based alloy is ideal for demonstration of the SLM process.

Ø70 × 50 mm build volume
1 × 30W fibre laser
M100 Series

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 and gas filtration.

100 × 100 × 100 mm build volume
1 × 500W fibre laser
M150 Series

M150 Series

A step up in build volume for industrial or medical device production, and university research programmes. The optional second laser increases productivity without changing the machine's footprint. Bi-directional powder recoating provides an efficient and cost effective productivity bonus.

150 × 150 × 150 mm build volume (z-axis extension to 200 mm available)
500W fibre laser (available in single or dual laser configurations)
M150D Multi-Material

M150D Multi-Material

A high-throughput metal system capable of precisely printing parts made of up to four materials, thanks to its innovative gradient powder feeding system and inbuilt programmable vacuum system. Designed with R&D in mind where research into laminated multi materials are of interest.

150 × 150 × 150 mm build volume
1 × 500W fibre laser
M280 Series

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. Supplied with a long-life self cleaning filter system as standard.

250 × 250 × 320 mm build volume
500W fibre laser (available in single or dual laser configurations)
M480 Series

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. Available with automatic powder feeding system as an option.

480 × 320 × 300 mm build volume
2 × 500W fibre lasers
