GE Additive, an获奖3D打印机OEM推出了两个金属添加剂制造系统，即Arcam EBM Spectra雷电竞充值 L和Concept Laser M2系列5，以及一个自动粉末回收站Formnext 2019。
除了新硬件外，该公司还推出了对纯铜和高合金工具钢以及新的机器健康数据分析套件的开发材料（D材料）支持，称为Arcam EBM Build Performance Analyzer。
“随着客户的发展并开始增加大量生产，我们还将继续发展我们的机器投资组合，以满足他们对可重复性，可用性和质量的需求，” GE Addive的工程总经理Chris Schuppe说。
这Arcam EBM Spectra L
As the latest addition to the Arcam Electron Beam Melting (EBM)光谱系列，光谱L是为无法通过激光实现的大型钛应用而设计的。它目前支持5级TI6AL4V和23级Ti6Al4v。该系统具有Ø350x430mm的构建信封，大约是该信封的两倍光谱h。
据说，具有4.5 kW梁的功率，据说光谱L与Arcam EBM Q20plus。Furthermore, it completes a full build height 4.5 hours quicker than the Q20plus due to powder layering and heat model control system improvements.
Furthermore, the Arcam PRS 30, an automated powder recovery station, was released to create a closed system containing powder exposure for operators working in industrial additive manufacturing environments.
这概念激光M2Series 5
这概念激光M2系列5是最新的迭代M2Direct Metal Laser Melting (DMLM) additive manufacturing system. It has been designed for increased serial production with high-quality parts, particularly used in the medical and aerospace sectors.
It features a build volume of 350mm (z-axis for taller parts) 245mm x 245mm. The M2 Series 5 has also been upgraded for improved part consistency and uses a gas flow system with redundant oxygen monitoring for part quality and minimized filter changes. Moreover, a new optical cooling function features over 10 internal sensors for a more controlled build environment.
“Over the past year, teams from GE Additive have worked closely with colleagues at GE Aviation – which operates a fleet of M2s – to get direct feedback,” added Schuppe. “Co-located teams collaborated on the critical characteristics needed for the next iteration of the M2 and to make a good part, but also on input on the mechanical operations, performance, and productivity of the machine, and on improvements in reliability and quality.”
Supporting copper and steel 3D printing
In tandem with the new industrial metal 3D printers, GE Additive has announced the general release of D-material support for pure copper and highly-alloyed tool steel used in EBM processes for 2020. According to the company, this material addresses increased customer interest for more complex parts with pure copper.
Arcam EBM总经理Karl Lindblom说：“我们选择采取公开协作的方法，并将使用D-Metherial审查客户的反馈，并在考虑我们如何将材料进行工业化之前，然后评估其长期兴趣。”。
循证医学Arcam构建性能分析器也been launched to collect data during the printing process from in-situ machine sensors, this provides users with a holistic view of process and machine health. The software can run on both the machine itself or on a user’s laptop. It is presently available for Arcam EBM Q10 and Q10plus customers.
这Arcam EBM Spectra L和概念激光M2系列5现已上市，并将在2020年第1季度发货。这些系统的价格尚未披露。这Arcam PRS 30粉末恢复站is also available for order, with first deliveries expected in Q2 2020.
