The Mlab Cusing R by Concept Laser is capable of building in both reactive and non-reactive materials, and produces fully-dense parts with a high-quality surface finish. The machine’s smaller build volume makes it suitable for high-value materials as it requires smaller powder batches. It also enables economic fabrication of delicate dental products and medical implants, as well as medical instruments made from titanium.
The 3D printer features a glovebox module docked onto the machine for loading/unloading and safe handling of material, enabling quick change-over while minimizing the risk of contamination of powder materials. The build module can be pulled out into the glovebox, which is then flooded with argon to inert the chamber for safe titanium processing. The 3D printer processes a range of materials, including gold, silver alloys, bronze, cobalt-chromium alloys and stainless steel. Other compatible materials include titanium and titanium alloys.
The machine is available in three different build envelope versions: 50 × 50 mm, 70 × 70 mm and 90 × 90 mm, with an 80-mm-high build envelope.
