Eplus3D EP-M450H — Technical data

The EP-M450H is the tall variant of the EP-M450 and was presented in January 2022 as Eplus3D's tallest metal system at the time. At launch the manufacturer quoted a 455 × 455 × 1,100 mm build volume and two 500 W lasers; the current page lists up to 1,300 mm build height and one, two or four lasers of 500 to 1,000 W, but 1,080 mm elsewhere. It is intended for slender, tall parts such as housings, nozzles or structural components for aerospace and energy technology. At 17 t and more than 5 m in height, it needs a suitably designed hall.

Because of the varying figures, the actual Z height of a used EP-M450H should be established on the machine and in the acceptance report. With tall build cylinders the powder quantity per job is large, so plan for the sieving system, powder storage and inerting. Also check the guidance and drive of the build platform over the full height, scanner calibration, filters and laser hours. Transport and installation require heavy-load logistics and a hall height of well over 5 m.
