Unlocking the future of manufacturing with Xmax 3D: Accuracy at unprecedented scale
Introduction: Why do you need large-scale 3D printing?
Traditionally, producing large metal components means a maze of navigation tools, casting and machining processes – each step adds cost, delivery time and geometric constraints. Enter Xmax 3D technologya breakthrough in selective laser melting (SLM) redefines the possibility in additive manufacturing. For the industry from aerospace turbines to building structures, XMAX 3D sets up gaps, enabling complex, instrument-sized parts without compromising accuracy or structural integrity.
Xmax 3D Difference: How It Works
Core utilization of Xmax 3D Industrial SLM printers With extended build volume (800 x 800 x 1200 mm or greater), while maintaining accuracy drops to ±0.05 mm. Here is what makes it unique:
- Multi-laser system: High power lasers (up to 1.5 kW) simultaneously operate to melt metal powder evenly, cutting printing time by 40–60%, while eliminating thermal distortion from oversized parts.
- Advanced airflow and monitoring: Patented airflow design prevents oxidation and ensures consistent layer adhesion, which is essential for aviation grade titanium or inconel alloys. Real-time sensor automatically corrects abnormal intermediate printing.
- Material versatility: Handle everything from aluminum, stainless steel and copper to refractory metals such as tungsten. The proprietary parameter library adjusts the laser settings for optimal density (>99.95%) and minimum porosity.

Case Study: Innovating Ocean Advance
Customers need a 900mm inconel 625 impeller for high-speed containers. Traditional casting faces porosity risks and 12-week delays. Greatlight printed the part within 9 days and had an internal cooling channel to prevent air cavity. Post-CNC machining ensures fluid dynamic tolerance of ±0.03 mm, reducing fuel consumption by 15%.
