Banbury-based
Laser Lines — a leading UK supplier of 3-D printers, additive manufacturing systems, laser processing solutions, laser photonics products and associated accessories that represents over 20 suppliers — returns to
MACH, which takes place 20-24 April at the NEC, Birmingham, with two stands and its most extensive line-up yet of additive manufacturing technologies and industrial laser systems (Hall 17, Stands 418 and 428).
Mark Tyrtania, Laser Lines’ sales director, said: “
MACH is always a highlight for our team, and this year we are bringing more technology than ever, with systems ranging from polymer and metal additive manufacturing to advanced laser welding and marking. We are looking forward to meeting visitors, understanding their challenges, and showing how our systems can transform productivity across design, prototyping, and production.”
Laser Lines’ AM stand will feature a wide range of 3-D printers, materials and post-processing systems, including a Stratasys F370. An industrialgrade FDM 3-D printer, it offers a streamlined CAD-to-print workflow via GrabCAD Print, fast material changeovers, a 355 x 254 x 355mm build volume, and compatibility with a wide range of engineering materials. The F370 is designed for prototyping, tooling, and low-volume production in both factory and office environments. Meanwhile, the Stratasys J55 is a compact, ultra-quiet Polyjet printer for producing high fidelity, multi-material and full-colour prototypes (more than 640,000 colour combinations).
Origin TwoAlso from Stratasys will be an Origin Two. A production-grade P3 DLP system, it is designed for end-use-part manufacturing with high levels of accuracy, smooth surface finishes (as low as 3μm Ra) and repeatability. It offers a 192 x 108 x 370mm build volume and can be applied for tooling, jigs, fixtures and functional production components.
A high-performance metal powder-bed fusion system with options for single or dual fibre lasers (100-400W), the Xact Metal XM200G features premium Ftheta optics for micron-level precision, overlapping duallaser work areas, and an open-material platform. Designed for manufacturers, R&D and tooling, the XM200G offers ‘metal AM capability at an accessible price point’.
Also on show will be: a PostProcess DEMI X520, an automated full-stack resin removal solution for SLA, DLP and Polyjet workflows; FixtureMate demonstrations (with GrabCAD Print Pro), which offers automated fixture-design and enables operators without CAD expertise to create production ready fixtures in under 20min; and a comprehensive portfolio of ‘laser technologies for welding, marking and precision processing designed to streamline repair, marking and manufacturing workflows’.
The latter includes the Sisma SWA series, which is engineered for long, continuous working sessions without any loss of precision and allows operators to benefit from advanced software capable of managing complex weld paths, including circular routes, inclined planes, filling and overlap functions, ensuring exceptionally smooth, consistent seams.
