In recent years, aerospace applications have increasingly demanded higher performance, higher efficiency, higher reliability, and lower cost. Related component designs also require lighter, stronger, and more integrated designs. Traditional manufacturing processes face the dual challenges of improving the forming efficiency and performance stability of complex, large components.

LiM Laser possesses extensive experience in the deep customization of aerospace components, a comprehensive technology R&D system, and a proven array of equipment. We understand that the pain points of manufacturing large-size, oversized components lie not only in "making them big," but also in "making them precise and stable." Therefore, we have developed a series of ultra-meter-scale equipment, represented by the LiM-X1500H, which has been validated through engineering applications, and provide systematic additive manufacturing solutions.

 

Multi-laser collaboration enables highly efficient forming.

The LiM-X1500H equipment has a forming size of 1500mm × 1500mm × 1650mm (including a standard substrate thickness of 150mm), breaking through forming size limitations and precisely matching the needs of aerospace-grade industrial manufacturing. It can achieve rapid integrated forming of large-size, oversized, and complex structural parts, as well as handle the assembly or mass production of medium-to-large-size parts.

The equipment is equipped with 16 lasers, achieving a maximum forming efficiency of 1000cm³/h; with 24 lasers, the maximum forming efficiency reaches 1500cm³/h.

 

 

It employs an intelligent dynamic variable-speed powder spreading scheme with multi-segment automatic speed regulation, achieving precise control of the printing area and rapid movement of the non-printing area, ensuring powder spreading quality and efficiency.

The single-scraper, bidirectional powder-laying structure simplifies the scraper adjustment process, making it convenient and quick. The forming chamber is equipped with a single scraper module, preserving the inert gas environment of the forming chamber and enabling online scraper replacement, thus solving the problem of scraper wear during long-cycle printing. The scraper drive guide rail features a double-layer sealed protection design, increasing its service life by more than 5 times.

 

Integrated Powder Circulation, Building a Closed-Loop Ecosystem

A fully automatic powder circulation system and a separate powder circulation system are available. During printing, the equipment can efficiently complete the processes of overflow powder recovery, sieving, and supply, improving powder flow efficiency and ensuring continuous and stable production.

The powder cleaning and part removal system adopts a 4-sided, 16-glove design. The fully sealed structure, combined with a pressure-resistant oxygen control mechanism, ensures that operators can safely and efficiently complete powder cleaning and substrate assembly/disassembly in a low-oxygen environment.

 

 

Long-lasting Filtration System for Continuous and Stable Production

Equipped with a long-lasting filtration system featuring backflushing and an H13 filtration rating; it includes a cyclone dust collector module to collect large particles in the dust, reducing powder waste, lowering costs, and effectively extending filter life. The filter life exceeds 100,000 hours, eliminating the need for filter replacement throughout the entire equipment's lifespan, ensuring uninterrupted printing; the filter ash bin uses a lifting structure, and the circulation purification system monitors oxygen content, temperature, and pressure to ensure safe operation.

 

Intelligent Control System for Full-Process Self-Diagnosis

The LiM-X1500H can be equipped with an intelligent control system including a powder bed monitoring module, a quantitative powder delivery system, and a forming chamber oxygen content monitoring system. Real-time monitoring, self-diagnosis, and intelligent alarms enable visibility, traceability, and controllability throughout the entire process from powder delivery to forming, ensuring safe and controllable printing and consistent print quality; it supports intelligent galvanometer calibration without manual intervention, with single-beam galvanometer calibration accuracy ≤ ±0.05mm and multi-beam overlap accuracy error ≤ ±0.1mm, significantly improving print quality consistency and shortening preparation time.

 

 

Safety Certifications, Adaptable to Diverse Industrial Scenarios

The LiM-X1500H equipment has passed multiple certifications, including CE safety, CE explosion-proof, FDA laser protection system safety certification, and SIL 3 relay safety certification. Equipped with multiple monitoring and interlocking devices, pressure monitoring, temperature monitoring, and other multi-layered protection systems, it ensures safe and stable operation under high-load environments.

The overall height is controlled within 6.5 meters, lower than similar-sized equipment, providing greater adaptability to factory layouts and ease of maintenance.

 

 

Large-Scale Applications, Doubling Production Efficiency

Large-scale additive manufacturing equipment is showing a trend towards mass production, continuously expanding the forming size and quantity of equipment to build fully collaborative automated production lines, bringing new solutions for the mass production of ultra-large metal components.

 

 

As a representative product of LiM Laser in the field of ultra-large-scale equipment, the industrial application of the LiM-X1500H confirms the feasibility of related technological paths. In the future, we will continue to refine our technology and make further breakthroughs in equipment development, process stability, and overall manufacturing costs, providing large-size component production solutions for key fields such as aerospace and energy, and taking concrete actions to promote the iteration and upgrading of high-end manufacturing.
