The LENS 500 Hybrid Controlled Atmosphere System sets a new
standard in affordability and performance for titanium and aluminum
metal additive manufacturing applications. The system
incorporates an Optomec proprietary hermetically sealed Class 1
enclosure and an integrated gas purification system that maintains
oxygen and moisture levels to below 40 ppm.
Built on a rugged cast iron CNC platform, the system features
high precision ball screws, spindle, and ATC for precision machining
operations. Additive functionality is enabled with integrated
Optomec LENS Print Engine technology including Steadyflow™
powder feeders, water-cooled LENS processing head, and SmartAM
™ closed loop controls. A high power fiber laser and advanced
Siemens controls complete the system. Powerful Optomec software
enables multi-axis build strategies that combine additive
and subtractive operations in a single tool path. Optional material
starter recipes and unparalleled customer service and support
round out the LENS 500 Hybrid Controlled Atmosphere System.
