The Dynamics of Beam Shaping
The beam shaping technology is expertly engineered to address the challenge of overheating that often occurs in the core of Gaussian beam profiles. By redistributing the heat intensity evenly across the powder bed, it effectively reduces the overall energy density.
Offering a choice of 7 distinct beam profiles, the beam shaping technolgy enables flexible switching between beam shapes, giving you the freedom to tailor designs to meet specific application requirements and build specifications.
