Best-in-Class Lasers by IPG Photonics
The laser is the heart of the machine. It is one of the most important parts of the AM3D metal 3D printers. That is why we have chosen IPG Photonics, one of the best-known laser manufacturers who have been at the forefront of the industry from 1990.
The laser does half the work. The quality of the beam determines how well the metal powder is melted, and the stability of the power ensures the strength of the part. The long service life, with no additional maintenance, makes IPG fiber lasers an excellent choice for metal 3D printing.

The average laser power is not that high, only about 200 watts, but if you focus it at a point of 100 microns, we get a beam ten million times brighter than the sun.
You certainly wouldn't want to have a direct look at that. That's why we use OD8+ / OD10+ grade protective glass. But for more safety, we recommend watching the printing process on the screen through the built-in camera.
