A new small-sized RusMelt 150M 3D printer for printing metal products using selective laser melting technology has appeared on the Russian market. The development was presented by Rosatom, expanding its line of additive equipment, which already includes the RusMelt 300M and RusMelt 600M models.
The new unit has a compact body and is focused on tasks where economy and work with small batches of products are important. The company notes that the printer consumes less energy, requires a smaller volume of protective gas, and reduces metal powder consumption. Due to this, the operating cost of the device is lower compared to larger systems.
The RusMelt 150M is designed for producing complex small-sized metal parts. In the aviation and space industries, the equipment can be used for printing turbine blades, antennas, seals, and thermal elements. Industrial enterprises will be able to manufacture prototypes, spare parts, and other components for prompt equipment replacement.
The unit is also focused on the medical field. In particular, it concerns the production of dental crowns, bridges, individual implants, and orthopedic elements. In addition, the printer can be used in universities and research centers for material research, R&D, and the creation of experimental samples.
