Disruptive Applications
The layer-by-layer fabrication of parts allow for the creation of parts with complex geometries that would be difficult or impossible to produce with casting or machining.
Hydraulic Manifold
Metal additive manufacturing allows for the consolidation of multiple parts into a single, complex hydraulic manifold, enhancing flow characteristics while reducing size, weight, and assembly time.
Conformal Cooling
In the production of molds and inserts, metal AM enables the integration of conformal cooling channels that closely follow the contours of the mold cavity, resulting in more uniform cooling, reduced cycle times, and consistently higher quality in final products.
Heat Exchanger
Maximizing the surface area is essential for heat exchanger efficiency, and metal AM supports this by allowing the creation of highly-complex internal geometries that significantly increase the surface area, thereby enhancing heat transfer capabilities.
Sample Parts
Printed with HBD 400
No-Support 3D Printing
Typically, support structures are necessary in SLM processes to prevent the deformation of parts due to high temperatures and to anchor the build to the substrate.
However, no-support SLM printing offers several distinct advantages, such as material efficiency, reduced post-processing, design freedom, and faster build times.
Application Experience
HBD's research center constantly works on process and application development for no-support 3D printing, achieving successful prints with support angles below 45°.

High-Speed Production
Bidirectional recoating, dual, triple, and sextuple laser configurations, and scanning speeds of 10,000 mm/s allow for the rapid production of complex parts in days.
High-Precision Parts
Customizable for lasers of various powers, HBD 3D printers offer dimensional accuracy down to ±0.05 mm for intricate applications.
Bidirectional Recoating
Bidirectional recoating in LPBF printers streamlines the application of new powder layers by allowing the recoater to spread powder in both directions, reducing the overall build time and enhancing the efficiency of the printing process.
This not only speeds up production but also minimizes disruptions to the powder bed, leading to smoother surfaces and more consistent part quality.
Full-Field Laser Overlap
HBD 400's full-field laser overlap ensures uniform laser coverage across the build plate, enhancing material consistency and mechanical properties while reducing porosity and defects.
This feature optimizes material usage and speeds up production, making it essential for high-performance industries like aerospace and automotive.
Independent Atmospheric Purification System
Equipped with an efficient and secure independent atmospheric purification system to ensure highly efficient purification during the printing process, providing a safe and stable solution for printing reactive metals.
It also features an automatic closed-loop purification circulation system with advanced dust removal and secondary filtration. These enhancements ensure high filtration efficiency, meeting H13 standards.
Sealed Operating Environment
Adopting a sealed glove structure, a sealed chamber is reserved for the powder adding and suction interface, which can be operated without opening the chamber for powder adding and powder clearing.
