How much does the Sodick OPM250L cost?
Estimated price range
Our best estimate for a metal additive manufacturing in this class — not a quote from Sodick. Configuration moves it a long way.
Overview
The Sodick OPM250L is a metal additive manufacturing machine with a cubic working envelope: 10.24 in (260 mm) of travel on X, Y and Z, and a largest workpiece of 9.84 in × 9.84 in × 9.84 in (250 × 250 × 250 mm). Its spec table also lists an HSK-E25 spindle taper. A spindle taper on an additive machine means a cutting spindle is part of the package, so a part can be built and given finish cuts without moving it to a separate mill.
HSK-E25 is a small taper, sized for light finishing tools rather than heavy cutters. That matches the part size, since nothing on this machine is larger than 250 mm on a side. The table gives no spindle speed, tool capacity, laser data, layer thickness or powder list, so those are the questions to put to Sodick before comparing it with anything else.
The OPM250L stands 73.62 in × 87.80 in × 80.91 in (1,870 × 2,230 × 2,055 mm) and weighs 9,920 lb (4,500 kg). For a machine whose parts fit inside a 250 mm cube that is a lot of mass, so check floor loading, the rigging route and door heights early in the project.

Strengths & Limitations
Strengths
- Cubic envelope with the same 10.24 in (260 mm) of travel on X, Y and Z
- Builds parts up to 9.84 in × 9.84 in × 9.84 in (250 × 250 × 250 mm)
- The HSK-E25 spindle taper in the table means finish cuts can be taken on the same machine as the build
Limitations
- HSK-E25 is a small taper that limits the spindle to light finishing tools
- The table lists no spindle speed, laser, build-rate or material figures, so the process data has to come from a quotation
- At 9,920 lb (4,500 kg) it needs a floor and rigging plan sized for a heavy machine, despite the 250 mm part size

Frequently Asked Questions
01
The listed maximum workpiece is 9.84 in × 9.84 in × 9.84 in (250 × 250 × 250 mm). Axis travel is 10.24 in (260 mm) on each of X, Y and Z, which leaves a small margin around a part of full size.
02
The spec table lists an HSK-E25 spindle taper, which means a cutting spindle is fitted. HSK-E25 is a small taper for light tools, and the table gives no spindle speed or tool capacity, so ask Sodick for those figures.
03
The machine measures 73.62 in × 87.80 in × 80.91 in (1,870 × 2,230 × 2,055 mm) and weighs 9,920 lb (4,500 kg). Plan the floor, the access route and the ceiling height around those figures before delivery.
