Overview

The DMG MORI LASERTEC 30 SLM US is a powder bed machine for selective laser melting with a cubic build volume of 300 × 300 × 300 mm (11.8 × 11.8 × 11.8 in) and a 1,200 W programmable laser as standard. A 1,500 W laser is optional.

How the power is delivered matters as much as the amount. The beam can be run with a Gaussian profile, which DMG MORI assigns to precision and surface finish, or a ring profile, which it assigns to productivity and stability at high power. Adaptive Beam Control is a feedforward control of laser power and beam shape, so both are set for the geometry being melted. The focus diameter is 86 µm (0.0034 in) and the minimum layer thickness is 30 µm (0.0012 in).

The mechanics follow machine-tool practice. The core is a 2-piece cast and machined assembly, the drive is a ball screw with linear rods, and position is read by a linear scale encoder with 5 nm resolution. The powder bed is recoated with electrostatic technology.

Chiller and filter are integrated, so the machine stands on a single footprint with no separate units to place. Two filter elements are fitted and a cyclone separator is optional. Powder comes from an exchangeable tank with self-aligning feet and quick connections for a toolless changeover. The tank is weighed and powder consumption is calculated, its atmosphere is controlled through quick-connect pneumatic lines, and DMG MORI states that its capacity covers a full-height build without interruption.

Against the LASERTEC 30 SLM, which has a 325 × 325 × 400 mm (12.8 × 12.8 × 15.7 in) build volume and 1,000 W of listed laser power, the US model gives up build height for laser power.

Frequently Asked Questions

01 What laser power does the LASERTEC 30 SLM US have?

A 1,200 W programmable laser is standard and a 1,500 W laser is optional. The beam shape can be Gaussian, for precision and surface finish, or ring, for productivity and stability at high power, and Adaptive Beam Control applies feedforward control to both power and shape.

02 How big is the build volume of the LASERTEC 30 SLM US?

300 × 300 × 300 mm (11.8 × 11.8 × 11.8 in). The LASERTEC 30 SLM is larger at 325 × 325 × 400 mm (12.8 × 12.8 × 15.7 in), so a part taller than 300 mm (11.8 in) belongs on that machine.

03 What is the smallest layer and spot size?

The minimum layer thickness is 30 µm (0.0012 in) and the focus diameter is 86 µm (0.0034 in). The Gaussian beam profile is the one DMG MORI associates with precision and surface finish, so fine features would be run with that shape.

04 How is powder handled on the LASERTEC 30 SLM US?

Powder is supplied from an exchangeable tank system with self-aligning feet and quick connections, changed without tools. The tank's weight is detected and powder consumption is calculated. The atmosphere in the tank is controlled through quick-connect pneumatic lines, and labelling on the tank confirms the material type.

05 Does the machine need a separate chiller or filter unit?

No. DMG MORI integrates the chiller and the filter, so the machine occupies a single footprint. Filtration uses two filter elements, which DMG MORI links to a long filter lifetime, and a cyclone separator can be added as an option.
