OPM250L

Linear Motor Drive /Precision Metal 3D Printer

Sodick Linear Motor Drive Precision Metal 3D Printer Provides the One-stop Solution to Customers. Core-technologies for whole Manufacturing process are developed within the Sodick Group.


Main Features

One Process Milling

The one process milling is the fully-automated manufacturing method of whitch Sodick newly propose. The machining enables the continuous process of melting by the irradiation of metallic powder with laser light followed by finish machining by milling with rotating tools. In particular, for die manufacturing for plastic molded products, complex shapes such as three dimensional cooling channels and deep ribs can be manufactured with this single printer.

Linear Motor Drive

The Sodick linear motor drive method is excellent in speed and positioning accuracy, and since there is no mechanical contact, it maintains high responsiveness, stability, maintainability and reliability over long periods. The performance of this linear motor demonstrates maximum performance in combination with the motion controller (K-SMC) which Sodick has developed over the years.

Original NC Unit and CAM

The Sodick in-house developed and manufacturedCNC unit, LN4RP, is used. A die with a built-in three-dimensional cooling channel is designed with CAD and a resin temperature simulation is implemented with CAE. NC programming with dedicated CAM, OS-FLASH, using the designed CAD data is followed by die manufacturing with OPM250L in a one-stop process.

OPM350L

Linear Motor Drive /Precision Metal 3D Printer

Meets Large Size and Diverse Needs. Parallel Mode Significantly Increases Printing Speed. Material Recovery System(MRS:option) Enables Automated Continuous Operation.



Main Features

One Process Milling

One-process milling machining is a new fully automated machining method which Sodick proudly proposes. The machining enables the continuous process of melting by the irradiation of metallic powder with laser light followed by finish machining by milling with rotating tools. In particular, for die manufacturing for plastic molded products, complex shapes such as three dimensional cooling channels and deep ribs can be manufactured with this single printer.

High-Speed Printing and Cutting Time Reduction Material Recovery System

The new machining method (parallel mode) can print multiple spots simultaneously by controlling a single laser source at high speed. Cutting machining time can be reduced significantly by optimizing the balance of lamination count by laser and cutting finish machining with tools depending on the three-dimensional shape to be machined. Continuous operation has been enabled by developing an optional Material Recovery System (MRS) for metallic powder.

Sodick In-House Made NC Unit and Dedicated CAM

The Sodick in-house developed and manufactured CNC unit, LN4RP, is used along with an in-house developed and manufactured high-performance linear motor. A die with a built-in three-dimensional cooling channel is designed with CAD and a resin temperature simulation is implemented with CAE. NC programming with dedicated CAM, OS-FLASH, using the designed CAD data is followed by die manufacturing with OPM350L in a one-stop process.

LPM325

High-Speed Building /Metal 3D Printer

The entry model of a metal 3D printer that enables 3D printing through laser sintering and reference surface cutting for the building on the same machine



Main Features

A multi-functional additive manufacturing machine for metal 3D printing and reference surface cutting

LPM325 is a multi-functional additive manufacturing machine that performs 3D printing through melting and solidifying a uniform layer of metal powder with laser machining. This machine also provides reference surface cutting without any set-up change. Carrying a compact reference surface cutting device allowed space-saving through the integral structure of electric system and peripheral equipment.

Originally equipped with material suction device that handles high-speed building

Optimizing how to gather the fume that arises during the laser machining and reducing the build chamber volume, we succeed in drastically speeding up of building ratio. The machine is originally equipped with material suction device for enhancing work efficiency of gathering the powder in build chamber.

Self-manufactured NC device and dedicated CAM software

The new NC device “RM4RP” that was self-developed and manufactured provides operator-friendly environment by placing manually-operated buttons that are exclusively for metal 3D printer. We also developed dedicated CAM for LPM325 called “LS-BEAMS.”
