总部位于阿尔伯克基的金属3D打印机制造商Optomechas released two new standalone systems, the LENS CS 600 and CS 800.
Optomec的产品经理汤姆·科布斯（Tom Cobbs）表示：“镜头CS 600和CS 800系统代表了最新的DED处理，从精确沉积到覆层应用程序，并扩展我们的产品组合以继续提供高价值金属添加性制造业解决方案。”
镜头金属制造
Optomec的客户投资组合成立于1997年，包括GE,波音， 和the aircraft manufacturer,United Technologies。In addition to this, the company has also collaborated with institutions and government agencies such as theArdec的增材制造设施,University of Nebraska,NASA， 和Air Force Research Laboratory。
Optomec机器使用激光工程网塑形(LENS) technology developed at桑迪亚国家实验室。镜头是一种定向能量沉积的一种形式，它使用聚焦激光融化了两个收敛的粉末流到基板上。具有弯曲表面的能力，镜头系统是精确应用，修复金属零件或金属覆层的理想选择。
In addition to LENS, Optomec’s has another additive manufacturing technology termed气溶胶喷气打印（AJP）适合于电子产品的制造。
谈到新的镜头系统时，科布斯说：“这些新系统包含下一代DED组件，这些组件都是由签名的Optomec专有技术出生的，并旨在为行业最苛刻的要求提供负担得起的高质量金属添加剂制造能力。”
Added abilities
Both systems, LENS 800 and LENS CS 600, house the laser in a CDR Class 1 airtight chamber. This protects the build environment from moisture and oxygen, keeping the levels to less than 10 ppm (parts-per notation). This is to prevent oxidation and control the environment variables to reduce the chances ofporosity in the metalwhen the melt pool is formed.
CS 600具有600 x 400 x 400毫米的构建信封，由2kW激光器和带有四个尖端喷嘴的激光沉积头提供动力。镜头800的尺寸略大，操作800 x 600 x 600毫米的构建信封，并使用3kW激光器。两台机器都配备了SINUMERIK 840CNC controller and are customizable according to their capacities. Example upgrades for the two include a 2kW fiber laser for the LENS 600, and 3kW laser for the 800.
