SHINING 3D expands accessible metal 3D printing with new EP-M250 Pro machine

At Formnext 2019, an unprecedented number of manufacturers presented their solutions for metal additive manufacturing, demonstrating how important this segment is and will continue to be for the industry. In fact, in a recent report focusing on metal AM, published by SmartTech Analysis, it was predicted that over the coming decade $228 billion worth of components will be 3D printed in metal, representing a huge boom in production and an important shift beyond prototyping.

Given this growing trend, SHINING 3D, manufacturer of well-established 3D scanning solutions, has launched a new impressive metal machine, the EP-M250 Pro. The machine was presented for the first time at the world’s largest fair for additive manufacturing, Formnext. The EP-M250 Pro is none other than a dual-laser metal 3D printer that uses Advanced Metal Powder Bed Fusion (MPBF) technology to create medium-sized parts and small batch production.

EP-M250 Pro expands industrial applications possible

The build volume on this new machine is 262 x 262 x 350 mm, for the production of medium-sized metal parts. The EP-M250 Pro completes the manufacturer’s professional range offering, which includes the smaller EP-M150 system and the single laser EP-M250. Some optimizations you can expect on the system include: non-stop operation during filter change, an innovative gas flow management and optimized filter system to ensure a stable building environment, and precise laser beam quality control. Additionally, the manufacturer enables real time monitoring of the production environment and building process to make sure users have as much control as possible over the production process.
