3D printing is getting bigger! The technical features of the meter-tall Sapphire printer include a 315mm-diameter build plate with a 1 meter tall z-axis, dual 1kW lasers, in-situ optical calibration, and many of the same characteristics of the existing Sapphire machine. It will be the world’s tallest production metal-powder laser additive manufacturing system, exceeding the build height of both the SLM 800 and the GE Additive X Line 2000R. The system will be commercially available starting late 2020 and compatible with nickel-based alloys. For more information: info@velo3d.com
