Colibrium M Line

The Colibrium M Line is a four-laser metal additive system with a 500 x 500 x 400 mm (x, y, z) build envelope, 3D optics with 4 x 400 W and a focus diameter that adjusts dynamically from 50 µm – 400 µm. It is not a single cabinet. Colibrium Additive gives dimensions and weights for two units, labelled LPS and MHS, and an installation has to be planned around both.

Those two units are what to take to a facilities engineer first. The LPS measures 4,245 x 4,300 x 3,525 mm (W x D x H) and weighs approx. 14,000 kg at maximum full weight. The MHS is 2,960 x 3,090 x 4,190 mm (W x D x H) and approx. 7,000 kg, so it is the taller unit and its 4,190 mm sets the clear height the building must offer. For scale, the LPS alone outweighs the Colibrium X Line 2000R, which is listed at approx. 9,500 kg (tare weight).

On the process side, four 400 W sources share a square 500 x 500 mm area, and the dynamic focus adjustment is the feature that stands out. A spot that can be set anywhere from 50 µm to 400 µm lets fine contours and bulk infill be handled with different beam sizes in one job. Layer thickness is 20 – 100 µm and scan speed is max. 5 m/s. The filter system is integrated, with 2 x 20 m2 of filter surface.

Listed materials are the nickel based alloys Ni718, NiX and Ni625, the cobalt chromium alloys CoCrMo and CoCrW, Aluminum A205, and the steels 316L, 17-4PH, M300, Corrax and H13. No titanium alloy is on the list. The table states no build rate, electrical supply or inert gas figures, so those belong in the quotation request.
