Eplus3D EP-M260 Metal 3D Printer

EP-M260 is an industrial metal 3D printer that uses advanced metal powder bed fusion (MPBF™) technology. It is capable of easily and quickly converting CAD data into high-performance, complex structure metal parts. The 3D printer is an ideal choice for medium sized parts and small batch production.

CONSISTENT PERFORMANCE

  • Innovative gas flow management and optimized filter system ensure a stable building environment.
  • Outstanding sealing capability optimizes oxygen content.
  • Precise laser beam quality control.

 

HIGH PRODUCTIVITY

  • Dual-Laser system equipped with build chamber with a volume of 260x260x390 mm.
  • Non-stop operation during filter change.
  • Optimized recoating strategy shortens coating time.

 

RELIABLE AND EASY OPERATION

  • Convenient powder recycling systems and glove box structure minimize powder contact.
  • Intelligent software ensures less human intervention.
  • Real-time monitoring of the production environment and building process.

 

LOW OPERATION COST

  • Quantitative powder feeding and coating ensure less powder waste.
  • Advanced filtration system significantly increases filter lifetime.
  • Low inert gas consumption during purging and operation.

 

GLOVE BOX TYPE ACCESS DOOR

  • Intelligent electronic lock with no need of manual operation.
  • Double locking from mechanical lock to improve safety.
  • Alarming when the access door is open abnormally, to ensure the safety of use.
  • Two-glove structure of the access door makes it possible to operate without opening the door.
  • Tension seal with good sealing performance, can be controlled both automatically and manually.
