Machine Comparison
DMG Mori LASERTEC 12 SLM vs EOS M 100
DMG Mori vs EOS · Metal Additive Manufacturing
Summary
The DMG Mori LASERTEC 12 SLM and the EOS M 100 are both small metal additive machines with a 200 W fiber laser as standard. The makers publish few comparable figures for this pair, so the table has only laser source, laser power and build volume.
On laser power the two are level at 200 W, and the DMG Mori LASERTEC 12 SLM adds 400 W as an extra-cost option. The build volumes differ in shape and are published in different forms: 4.9 x 4.9 x 7.9 in. (X / Y / Z) on the DMG Mori LASERTEC 12 SLM, and a round Ø 100 x 95 mm (Ø 3.94 x 3.74 in) on the EOS M 100. The table computes no winner on that row; the inch figures are there to compare.
Specifications Comparison
| Specification | DMG Mori LASERTEC 12 SLM | EOS M 100 |
|---|---|---|
| Laser Source | Fibre laser, 200 W standard, 400 W optional | Yb-fiber laser |
| Laser Power | 200 W | 200 W |
| Build Volume | 4.9 x 4.9 x 7.9 in. (X / Y / Z) | Ø 100 x 95 mm (Ø 3.94 x 3.74 in) |
Advantages
DMG Mori LASERTEC 12 SLM
- 400 W laser available as an extra-cost option; the table lists 200 W only for the EOS M 100
- 4.9 x 4.9 x 7.9 in. build volume against Ø 3.94 x 3.74 in
- Open system for material and process parameter development
EOS M 100
- Round Ø 100 x 95 mm (Ø 3.94 x 3.74 in) build volume for small dental and jewelry parts
- Aimed at dental labs, jewelry makers and research groups with limited budgets and facility constraints
Verdict
With only three rows published, the verdict stays narrow. Both machines start at 200 W. Choose the DMG Mori LASERTEC 12 SLM when parts need its 7.9 in. of build height, when the optional 400 W laser is wanted, or for parameter development on an open system. Choose the EOS M 100 for crowns, bridges, jewelry and small medical prototypes that fit a Ø 100 x 95 mm build volume. Ask both makers for further figures before deciding.
