Summary

The Sodick OPM350L is a hybrid manufacturing system that combines metal powder bed laser sintering with high-speed CNC milling in a single workspace. Its design enables the production of finished 3D-printed metal molds, integrating additive and subtractive processes for improved part accuracy and surface finish. Key technical differentiators include sequential machining and printing, conformal cooling channel capability, and linear motor-driven axes with integrated automation.

Key Capabilities

• Alternates metal powder bed laser sintering with high-speed milling in the same workspace
• Produces conformal internal cooling channels within molds
• Dedicated CAM system (OS-FLASH) supports CAD data import, machining optimization, and process simulation
• Supports material recycling with an automatic powder recovery system
• Utilizes flat rigid linear motor drives for precise axis motion
• 20-position automatic tool changer for unattended milling operations
• Absolute glass scale feedback for axis positioning
• Compatible with Materialise Magics for metal additive manufacturing
