Eplus3D EP-P280 — Technical data

The EP-P280 is the smaller of Eplus3D's current polyamide laser sintering systems. A CO2 laser of 55 or 120 W sinters powder in a 280 × 280 × 360 mm build volume; the scanner reaches up to 15 m/s and layer thickness is 0.06–0.2 mm. The chamber can be heated to up to 230 °C via four separate heating zones, so in addition to PA 12, PA 11, PP and TPU, higher-melting materials such as PA 6 are also provided for. The manufacturer quotes up to 1,500 cc/h. With a 1.8 × 1.3 m footprint and 2.35 t it fits into ordinary production rooms but needs a 63 A three-phase supply and nitrogen.

When buying a used EP-P280, clarify the laser power, as the 120 W variant is intended for fast exposure and high-melting powders. Check the laser tube or source, mirrors and protective window, the heaters of all four zones, temperature sensors, and the recoater and seals. Nitrogen supply, the unpacking and sieving station and released material profiles for EPHatch are also important.
