Structure & Features

1. Control System

The HBD 500 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

Intelligent variable speed design and bidirectional re-coater completing the recoating process in 3 seconds, the HBD 500 employs a high-strength structure to guarantee even and reliable powder distribution. This module optimizes layer consistency, crucial for achieving complex geometries and fine surface finishes.

3. Powder Collection

With hign volume collection containers, minimizes the frequency of powder changes. This setup enhances productivity by reducing downtime during powder recycling and storage.

4. 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.

5. Precision Optics and Multi-Laser System

Designed with a fully sealed optical path and precise water-cooled temperature control, the multi-laser system of the HBD 500 offers high accuracy and stability. The fixed-focus optical structure enables consistent energy distribution, essential for producing high-resolution parts with complex details.

6. 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.
