Printing Features of LENS Systems:
- Layer Thickness: Ranges from 250 to 750 microns
- Typical Melt Pool Diameter: 2,000 microns
- Minimum Wall Thickness: 300 microns
- Deposition Rate Based on Laser Power: 2 kW results in 0.5 kg/hr
- Surface Roughness: Side surfaces have a roughness of 12-25 microns Ra
Printed Metal Properties: Typically, the LENS process yields fully dense materials with mechanical properties that are equal to or exceed those of cast materials, and in some cases, they closely resemble those of forged materials.
