The Chinese manufacturer Eplus3D is expanding its portfolio in the field of industrial 3D metal printing. With its unusual build chamber, the new EP-M4750 is aimed at the series production of large components.
The special feature of the system is the rectangular build chamber measuring 450 x 750 x 530 millimetres. This shape differs from the usually square construction chambers of other systems and enables the efficient production of wide components. The system uses the powder bed fusion process for selective melting of metal powder.
The EP-M4750 processes common materials such as titanium, aluminum and nickel alloys as well as various types of steel. The system is particularly suitable for the automotive industry, where large precision components are manufactured in series. Users from the aerospace and toolmaking industries are also among the target group.
The market launch comes just a few months after the presentation of the EP-M2050, which sets new standards with an installation space of 2050 x 2050 x 1100 millimeters and 64 lasers. The Z-axis can be extended up to 2000 millimeters.
Eplus3D has been developing industrial 3D printers since 1993 and says it invests over 20 percent of its turnover in research and development every year. The company has sites in Beijing, Hangzhou, Stuttgart and Houston. The systems are now in use in more than 40 countries.
