SLM Solutions SLM 500 HL 3D Printer

SLM 500 HL is the fastest and most compact 3D printing machine in the market. The 3D printer uses Selective Laser Melting technology that consists of melting and fusing of metallic powders with a powerful laser beam. The SLM 500 HL is designed especially for the production of medium-sized components with a higher amount of accuracy and surface quality. Being the most updated and recent versions of a 3D printer made by SLM, this printer comes with quad laser optics. 

This is great for boosting the build speed to 90% compared to the print speed of twin laser optics that were used in its predecessors. SLM 500 HL can be configured depending on the need between two or four lasers overlapping because it has power ranging from 800 watts to 2800 watts. The variability in printing can of this machine be seen because one can not only print bionic design structures, but also topology optimization. This means that the 3D printer uses a mathematical method, by which one can limit the accumulation of material in certain parts as needed for strength for weight management of the parts. Because of these features, SLM 500 HL is has become a highly demanded machine in the aerospace industry. 

SLM makes use of Magic AutoFab software to work with CAD designs and .stl files. This software offers ease of usage and is user-friendly. One can also utilize this software for slicing the design as well as for the generation of support for the parts. In a nutshell, SLM 500 HL is such a 3D printer that you can choose if you love to work with SLM technology. If you wish to have profound quality 3D printing at a reasonable price, SLM can be your go-to.
