Structure & Features

The HBD 1600 metal 3D printing system redefines the standards for efficient, stable, and safe large-scale metal additive manufacturing, with its meter-scale build envelope, multi-laser collaborative manufacturing capability, and full-process intelligent closed-loop system. As a deeply customized solution for the aerospace industry, it provides innovative technological support for the production of complex structural components.

Key Components:
  1. Control System - The HBD 1600 is equipped with a robust control system, offering comprehensive system logs for in-depth performance tracking. Its high-efficiency software is designed for swift data processing, ensuring precise control throughout the printing process.

  2. Intelligent Powder Spreading Module - Equipped with an integrated high-rigidity, all-in-one bidirectional powder spreading structure, it is ready for use upon installation and achieves a dual breakthrough in both powder spreading accuracy and efficiency. The system allows the non-printing area speed to reach 300mm/s, resulting in a 100% increase in powder spreading efficiency.

  3. Powder Collection - With high volume collection containers, minimizes the frequency of powder changes. This setup enhances productivity by reducing downtime during powder recycling and storage.

  4. Powder Closed-Loop circulation system - Featuring an advanced powder closed-loop circulation system that realizes automatic recycling, sieving, and powder supply during printing. It reduces manual intervention, improves powder utilization, and enhances operational safety.

  5. Long-lasting Filtration System - The filtration system utilizes next-generation PTFE-coated filter elements, meeting H13 standards with a capture efficiency of up to 99.9%, capable of trapping particles as small as 0.3μm. The filter includes self-cleaning features, providing a filter element lifetime of over 5 years. Optimized gas-flow configuration enables secure and efficient waste reclamation in inert gas environments, ensuring optimal printing conditions.

  6. Precision 28-Laser System - Designed with a fully sealed optical path and precise water-cooled temperature control, the 28-laser system of the HBD 1600 offers high accuracy and stability. The fixed-focus optical structure enables consistent energy distribution, essential for producing high-resolution parts with complex details.

  7. Automated Powder Feeding System - The automated powder supply system continuously monitors powder levels in the storage hopper, enabling uninterrupted powder replenishment. This ensures a smooth, efficient printing process, particularly useful for large builds or mass production runs.

  8. Automatic Blade Replacement System - Real-time monitoring of blade wear and fully automated replacement process, combined with a dual-blade redundancy design, supports long-duration, uninterrupted printing tasks.

  9. Lens self-cleaning system - Automatically removes lens dust, effectively preventing optical path attenuation and reducing downtime due to lens maintenance, significantly lowering long-term operational and maintenance costs.
