Enhancing Additive Manufacturing
Enhancing Additive Manufacturing with ScannerMAX Optical Scanning Systems
Additive manufacturing, commonly known as 3D printing, is transforming industries with its ability to produce intricate components, reduce material waste, and accelerate prototyping. However, achieving high-speed, high-precision scanning at a low cost remains a key challenge—especially in high-volume applications where cost efficiency is paramount.
Applications in Additive Manufacturing
ScannerMAX galvanometer scanners are widely used in laser-based 3D printing technologies, including:
- Stereolithography (SLA) & Digital Light Processing (DLP) – High-speed mirror positioning for precise UV curing
- Selective Laser Sintering (SLS) & Selective Laser Melting (SLM) – Efficient powder bed fusion with controlled laser paths
