Specifications

DMG Mori Lasertec 30 SLM: Technical Specifications

Laser Engine: Single or dual 600 W fiber laser (Yb-fiber, ~1070 nm). Adjustable spot diameter: a unique feature for resolution vs. throughput optimization. Dual SLM variant adds a second 600 W laser and extends Z-travel to 350 mm.

Scanner: Galvo-scanner system with adjustable spot; independent scanners per laser in Dual variant.

Platform: 300×300×300 mm with heating; Z-travel 350 mm for Dual SLM. Strict leveling requirements due to CNC integration (< 30 µm over 300 mm).

Chamber & Inert Gas: Sealed argon chamber; target O₂ < 500 ppm for Ti, < 1000 ppm for steels. Additional seals around CNC interface ports.

Calibration

Calibration Protocol: DMG Mori Lasertec 30 SLM

1. Laser Calibration & Spot Verification: Check power and spot diameter (adjustable); for Dual SLM, calibrate both lasers and overlap zone. Perform at every startup after extended downtime.

2. Build Platform Leveling: < 30 µm over 300 mm: stricter than pure SLM systems due to CNC integration.

3. CNC-AM Datum Verification: Verify alignment between AM build coordinate system and CNC machine coordinate system (±10 µm).

Common defects

Typical Defects: DMG Mori Lasertec 30 SLM

Porosity: Suboptimal VED or miscalibrated adjustable spot. Fix: optimize VED and spot diameter for the specific alloy.

Delamination & Cracking: In tool steels and nickel alloys without platform heating. Fix: activate platform heating, optimize supports and scan speed.

Surface Defects After Hybrid Milling: Incorrect datum reference or insufficient machining allowance in AM design.

What it is used for

Use Cases: DMG Mori Lasertec 30 SLM

Parts with Complex Internal Geometry and Precise External Surfaces: SLM builds the internal channels; CNC ensures surface quality: a combination not achievable in separate machines without rework.

Tooling with Conformal Cooling: Injection mold tooling with SLM cooling channels + CNC finishing to Ra < 0.8 µm in a single setup.
