🚀 Advancing Productivity in PBF-LB/P with Big Spot Exposure 🌐 ⚡ Up to 1.5x faster processes without compromising density or quality 🔬 In our Plastics AM lab, we're exploring how defocused laser beams can significantly enhance productivity for PBF-LB/P. A few months ago, we already shared that we can increase productivity by a factor of 4 in the exposure step while maintaining or even improving part density. In our research, we are using a 120 W laser from Iradion Laser and a dynamic focusing unit from SCANLAB GmbH to achieve consistent laser intensity while defocusing the laser beam up to a size of 1000 µm. After optimizing our scan strategy, we printed our first demo parts last week. This shows that faster laser exposure translates into a significant process time reduction, especially for large build areas or large-volume components. These advancements pave the way for scalable, cost-effective manufacturing of high-quality PBF-LB/P parts. Are you interested? We are currently looking for industrial use-case partners 📬 We thank Christian Schröter and Angelina Ehrenberg from OPTOPRIM Germany GmbH, Alexander Jäckl from Iradion Laser, and Johannes Rahn and Daniel Reitemeyer from SCANLAB GmbH for supporting this research. 🙌 Special Thanks also to my colleagues Katrin Wudy, Benedikt Burchard, and Jonas Grünewald.
