[China Packaging Network News] Recently, Fonton, a leading manufacturer of laser equipment, has officially expanded its business into the metal 3D printing industry. The company is now offering additive manufacturing solutions that utilize fiber lasers, which allow for precise control over product density and significantly reduce build times. These fiber lasers operate by using rare-earth-doped glass fibers as the gain medium, enabling efficient and accurate energy delivery.
Fonton's Direct Metal Laser Sintering (DMLS) technology addresses a common issue in metal 3D printing: fluctuations in laser power that can affect the quality and consistency of printed parts. Their high-frequency lasers provide a uniform energy distribution, ensuring that the metal powder melts consistently throughout the build process without any disruptions.
While higher-power lasers typically result in larger spot sizes that may complicate precision during printing, Fonton’s 1KW laser offers a unique advantage. With 95% beam retractability, users can achieve faster print speeds while maintaining control over the beam size at critical areas, improving both efficiency and accuracy.
The build platform on Fonton’s system incorporates the company’s proprietary Scalable Reach technology, which allows for print areas ranging from 500 x 500mm up to an impressive 4000 x 2000mm—far exceeding the standard 250 x 250mm size found in most systems. This flexibility makes the machine suitable for large-scale applications such as automotive engine molds, turbine blades, and mass production setups.
Fonton also highlights that their process reduces the flow rate of inert gases, optimizing resource usage and lowering operational costs. Additionally, they define specific laser power requirements tailored to different applications, enhancing overall performance and reliability.
“We develop all of our 3D direct metal printing systems based on the unique needs of our customers,†said Fonton. “Our goal is to deliver the highest performance for complex designs, components, and applications. Our technology helps optimize the use of expensive nanopowders, minimize inert gas consumption, improve surface finish, reduce powder fill volume, and ultimately lower the cost of your 3D printing operations.â€
Fonton’s metal 3D printing systems are designed for a wide range of industries, including automotive, aerospace, industrial, defense, electronics, semiconductors, flat panel displays, and medical sectors. They offer both standard 3D material processing systems and laser-based conversion solutions, providing versatile options for manufacturers looking to integrate advanced additive manufacturing into their workflows.
