Prima Additive Print Genius 150

The dual laser solution of the 150 family: Print Genius 150 is an innovative additive system based on Powder Bed Fusion technology, based on Prima Additive’s 150 platform, which features a cylindrical working volume of Ø150mm and H = 160mm.

In its standard version the machine features a laser configuration with two 300W infrared lasers that operate simultaneously on the same work area, thus reducing part build times.

The system has optimised gas flow for minimum nitrogen or argon consumption and material can be changed in less than two hours thanks to modular components.

Like the other machines in the 150 Series, it is equipped with a system for adjusting the focal point of the laser beam as required, so that parameters are always optimised to suit the application. It also has a dual pre-heating system that allows the surface of the powder bed to be heated both from above and below via a heated plate, thus allowing the powder bed to reach a temperature of up to 300°C.

The high-speed coaxial pyrometer monitors the temperature in real time and 2 cameras monitor the process and the powder bed. The system has open parameters, suitable for process and material research and development.

Laser configuration:

- Standard version: 2x single mode IR fibre lasers with 300W power and 100% overlap area.

- Double Wavelength version: 1x single mode fibre laser in IR with 300W power + 1x green fibre laser with 200W power. This makes it possible to process both alloys that can conventionally be processed using infrared lasers (steel alloys, aluminium, titanium nickel, cobalt chrome), as well as pure copper or other highly reflective materials with the green laser.

A single line width of 0.1mm and minimum layer thickness of 0.02mm can be achieved for high precision. A reliable and compact 3-axis optical scanning system, offering high processing speeds and various scanning strategies.

Intuitive, intelligent control software allows rapid orientation of parts and defining of machine functions by the operator. With an open, easy-to-use process parameter management tool, you can also change key print parameters, select your scanning strategy and export machine-readable files.

The system is equipped with a filter unit for recirculating gas within the working area. The filter unit maintains a high level of cleanliness and is easily adjustable thanks to the control installed on the interface. Gas flow within the chamber can be modified to optimise flow as required.
