{"id":"dmg-mori-lasertec-12-slm","model_id":"LASERTEC 12 SLM","name":"DMG MORI LASERTEC 12 SLM","summary":"The LASERTEC 12 SLM is a DMG MORI additive manufacturing machine that builds metal parts by selective laser melting in a powder bed. Its work area is 125 mm in X, 125 mm in Y and 200 mm in Z, and it uses a fibre laser of 200 W as standard. The stated focus diameter is 35 µm and layer thicknesses start at 20 µm.","study_notes":["Build volume is 125 x 125 x 200 mm in X / Y / Z.","Focus diameter is 35 µm; minimum layer thickness is 20 µm.","Fibre laser sources are 200 W as standard and 400 W optional.","Open system: all machine settings and process parameters can be adjusted and the material supplier can be chosen freely.","Control uses CELOS with a touchscreen and app-based operation; RDesigner allows CAM programming directly on the machine control.","HEAT-Calculation precomputes mass distribution and automatically adjusts all laser parameters.","Camera-based monitoring tools check build-up and coating quality.","rePLUG is a modular powder module holding one material per module, allowing material change in under 2 hours.","A duo filter system permits filter changes without interrupting the process, and a large powder reservoir avoids manual refilling during the process.","Optional rePLUG RESEARCH module is intended for material and process parameter development on the series system.","Optimised shield gas volume flow is stated to give minimum argon consumption.","Parts cited for the process include components with internal conformal cooling channels and lattice or honeycomb structures."],"safety_notes":["Automated powder handling with integrated powder recycling forms a closed material cycle, stated to support work safety.","The modular rePLUG changing system is stated to allow contamination-free change between different materials."],"sources":[{"url":"https://en.dmgmori.com/products/machines/additive-manufacturing/powder-bed/lasertec-12-slm","title":"LASERTEC 12 SLM - ADDITIVE MANUFACTURING Machines - DMG MORI","accessed":"2026-10-25"}],"verification":{"status":"source_checked","checked_at":"2026-10-25","values":4,"method":"llm_source_check"},"updated_at":"2026-10-25","type":"hardware","spec":{"category":"additive_machine","manufacturer":"dmg-mori","controllers":[],"travel_x_mm":125,"travel_y_mm":125,"travel_z_mm":200,"joints":[],"protocols":[],"standards":[],"error_codes":[]},"url":"https://machineschema.com/hardware/dmg-mori-lasertec-12-slm","license":"https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/4.0/"}
