The Concept Laser M-Line
3D Printer

DMLM metal machines from Concept Laser use lasers to melt layers of fine metal powder and create complex metal 3D geometries with incredible precision directly from a CAD file.

Several different machine envelope sizes — including the largest powder-bed metal additive system in the world — are available to meet the needs of any industry. Innovative features, including the patented DMLM technology, set these machines apart.

Economical serial production

Several different machine envelope sizes — including the largest powder-bed metal additive system in the world — are available to meet the needs of any industry. Innovative features, including the patented DMLM technology, set these machines apart.

The M Line is more than just a single machine. It’s designed specifically for additive production, and was developed around the need for quality, safety, and productivity. The differentiator is the modular machine design, which allows for economical series production, at scale.

The modular machine technology concept physically decouples the Laser Processing System (LPS) and the Material Handling Station (MHS) units used for upstream and downstream stages of the production process and part production.

These tasks can now be carried out in parallel and physically separate from one another saving you time and cost.

Why Concept Laser M Line

Exceptional Surface Quality icon

Exceptional Surface Quality

Surface quality and minimal porosity are two key advantages of the Direct Metal Laser Melting process. Since it is possible to move the print bed in as little as 20-micron increments, objects exhibit a smooth surface quality that minimizes the need for post-production finishing. To put a thickness of 20 microns in perspective, consider that the diameter of a red blood cell is about five microns, and a human hair is about 75 microns thick.

Minimises Porosity icon

Minimises Porosity

The Direct Metal Laser Melting process minimizes the porosity common with sintering. In fact, it is possible to achieve close to 100 percent density. Enterprises can reuse the valuable unmelted metal powders.

Shortens Lead Times icon

Shortens Lead Times

Direct Metal Laser Melting offers short lead times ideal in situations where repeated testing of functional metal prototypes is necessary. Where traditional production times are often measured weeks, the direct metal laser melting process only requires hours or days.

Create Intricate Parts icon

Create Intricate Parts

The DMLM process gives designers the freedom to create objects with intricate structures and significant undercuts that are usually impossible to create using conventional methods. Quicker design cycles are vitally important in the highly competitive environments common in many industries. DMLM makes possible a design-driven process with significant benefits.

Download Data Sheet
  • The M LINE FACTORY offers a new type of modular machine architecture which offers an unprecedented level of automation and innovation, that allows economical series production on an industrial scale.
  • The basic idea is to physically decouple the machine units used for part production and for set-up and dismantling processes. These tasks can now be carried out in parallel and physically separately from one another thanks to the modular architecture. As a result, current stoppage times for the machines, as a result of manual processes such as supplying or exhausting metal powder, are reduced to a minimum.
  • This will deliver considerable time and cost savings. The M LINE FACTORY PRD is the production unit, consisting of the dose, build and overflow modules, whereas the M LINE FACTORY PCG, the processing unit, is responsible for set-up and dismantling processes as well as powder management. In addition, any number of machines can be linked together, thus creating fully automated machine networks that “communicate” with one another.
  • The M LINE FACTORY forms the core element of our production concept of the “AM Factory of Tomorrow,” which also envisages linking up with traditional manufacturing methods, e.g. in the post-processing of the parts. The concept consistently implements the basic idea of “Industrie 4.0” with a focus on delivering a “smart factory.” Consistent automation, interlinking and digitization of all processes ultimately allows the economical series production of additively manufactured metal parts.
  • 500 x 500 x up to 400 mm3 (x,y,z)
  • 1-4 lasers, with 400W to 1,000W power
  • Laser Processing Station (LPS) with individual, movable powder, build and overflow modules
  • Machine Handling Station (MHS) for build job preparation, dismantling and powder management
  • Architecture allows for simultaneous printing and pre- and post-processing for maxium productivity.
  • With over 70% of the build area covered by two or more lasers, interweaving laser paths on the same layer, and scan field calibration, the quad laser system stitches on single-laser quality level.
  • Minimized thermal effects for best optical stability and less recalibration needs
  • Improved robustness against remaining multi-laser drifts by patented scan paths
  • Robust scan paths allowing for large overlap area for highest flexibility between quality or laser melting rate
  • M2 Series 5 parameters are easy to transfer to M Line.
  • This product was designed to enable reproducible part quality and high availability.
  • Superior gas flow and optics accuracy, stability and repeatability for large platform
  • Thermal management also including gas flow cooling Single-laser load balancing
  • Automated EHS risk detections
  • Laser safety allowed for automatic operation (T1)
