Time：2025-04-10
At 2025 TCT ASIA, LiM Laser exhibited LiM-X260E devices equipped with green lasers, and the real-time printing on site attracted much attention.
As LiM Laser's market-proven batch production equipment, LiM-X260A/260E continues its consistent stability and demonstrates strong industry adaptability and technology versatility. The parts printed by LiM-X260A/260E have both high precision and high densities, covering aerospace, industrial molds, 3C electronics and other cutting-edge fields, which intuitively presents the hardcore strength of LiM Laser's metal 3D printing equipment in terms of engineering applications and process stability.
New upgrade: green laser program to overcome the problem of highly antimetal materials
In response to the forming challenges of pure copper and other highly reactive metal materials, LiM Laser has launched a green laser additive manufacturing solution based on its self-developed LiM-X series SLM equipment, taking the lead in completing the verification of high-quality pure copper (T2) printing with LiM-X260E, and supporting the customized development of green lasers for other LiM-X series equipment, so as to achieve the technological expansion of a larger forming format.
The thrust chamber is the core of the rocket engine, which generates high-temperature and high-pressure gas by burning the propellant and accelerating it out by using the nozzle, thus generating the reaction force that pushes the vehicle forward, which requires that the thrust chamber be able to withstand the extreme high-temperature and high-pressure operating environment. At the same time, the thrust chamber design structure is complex, difficult to manufacture, long manufacturing cycle, its manufacturing process put forward strict requirements.
The use of metal 3D printing technology can greatly simplify the manufacturing process of the thrust chamber, LiM-X260E one-piece molding pure copper (T2) thrust chamber, compared with the traditional process to effectively reduce the subsequent assembly costs, significantly shorten the development cycle. The high thermal conductivity of pure copper quickly disperses thermal stresses and reduces the risk of thermal cracking, especially for transient operating conditions.
