I can't tell if that's 9x1000w diode lasers, or 9*111W diode lasers.
Given the 2kw-5kw average power need they quote, i'm guessing it's the latter.
- bufferoverflow 2y agoI highly doubt it's 9kW, that would require some crazy cooling.
- Animats 2y agoThe lasers are at the other end of the fiber optics feeding the print head. It takes about a 1KW laser to cut stainless steel sheet. A 100W laser is about right for plastics and wood. I suspect each laser is about 1KW, but they are not all turned on at the same time. That's an expensive system.
- DannyBee 2y agoSure, but then i also see: "Cooling:Water-cooled deposition head. Chiller lncluded" (spelling error in original :P) the deposition head is where the lasers are.
