TPM3D P550DL Industrial SLS 3D Printer

The TPM3D P550DL is a dual-laser selective laser sintering (SLS) 3D printer from TPM3D’s Performance series. This industrial additive manufacturing system integrates two 140W ceramic cavity COâ‚‚ lasers, delivering exactly 45% faster production compared to single-laser equipment. The P550DL implements an intelligent dual laser collaboration system with a precision-engineered overlapping scanning area. For example, the system automatically staggers the overlapping positions between successive layers rather than using fixed boundaries.

The P550DL incorporates 5 distinct technological advancements in the professional SLS printing market. Its scanning speed measures exactly 22,000 mm/h (22 m/s), with a laser beam diameter of 0.4mm. The patented active cooling technology reduces post-print cooling time by 32% while enabling unlimited recycling of used materials. For example, the integrated nitrogen generator maintains oxygen levels below 100 ppm throughout the printing process, eliminating approximately $14,500 in annual costs for external nitrogen systems, according to TPM3D’s manufacturing economics analysis.

The P550DL serves 5 primary applications: aviation, automotive, medical, education, and consumer electronics. Its build volume measures 550 x 550 x 850 mm with an effective build space of 540 x 540 x 840 mm, accommodating components up to 245,160 cm³. The system produces layer thicknesses ranging from 0.06 mm to 0.2 mm. For example, this configuration enables manufacturing of aerospace components with dimensional accuracy of ±0.1 mm over 100 mm distances, according to performance benchmarks conducted by TPM3D’s quality assurance department during product certification testing.

Print quality

The TPM3D P550DL SLS 3D printer is equipped with dual 140W ceramic cavity CO2 lasers with a precise 0.4 mm laser beam diameter. The printer produces layer thicknesses between 0.06 mm and 0.2 mm, with 0.12 mm established as the optimal resolution. The P550DL scanning system operates at a maximum speed of 22,000 mm/s (22 m/s), while the build rate ranges from 10 to 25 mm per hour.

The P550DL’s intelligent collaborative scanning strategy implements a wider overlapping area for dual laser operation. This approach staggers the overlapping positions between successive layers rather than using fixed boundaries, eliminating concentrated fragile points in the printed parts. For example, the dual-laser configuration increases overall printing efficiency by precisely 45% compared to single-laser equipment, according to TPM3D’s technical team documentation in their 2022 product release announcement. The two high-performance dynamic focusing scanning systems coordinate to maximize efficiency while maintaining consistent high part quality throughout the whole build volume.

Materials

The P550DL supports 4 primary material types: PA11, PA12, PA12 GF (glass-filled), and TPU in multiple colors. These high-end powders perform optimally with the printer’s thermal management system that maintains precise temperatures of 230 °C for the powder bed and 160 °C for the build chamber. For example, the advanced thermal control system reduces part deformation risk by maintaining consistent bed temperature throughout the build process.

As a high temperature SLS machine, the P550DL integrates active cooling technology into its material processing system, providing 3 distinct benefits: accelerated post-print cooling, improved thermal efficiency, and extended powder recyclability. This technology allows operators to immediately initiate cooling after print completion, significantly reducing production cycle time. For example, the thermal management system maintains optimal sintering conditions throughout large build volumes while preventing rapid temperature fluctuations that compromise part integrity, according to TPM3D’s technical information. The precision thermal control ensures materials perform to manufacturer specifications, delivering consistent mechanical properties even when producing functional components with strict performance requirements.

Build volume

The P550DL model features a precision-engineered build chamber measuring 550 x 550 x 850 mm with an effective build space of 540 x 540 x 840 mm. This large-format capacity serves 5 primary industries: automotive, aviation, medical, prototyping, and household appliances. For example, the expanded dimensions enable complete one-piece production of full-size automotive dashboard components without segmentation, according to TPM3D’s technical documentation. The build chamber delivers 2.5 times more volume than TPM3D’s P360 model offering 72,275 cm³, allowing manufacturers to produce multiple smaller parts simultaneously in a single build cycle. The system efficiently handles both scenarios: manufacturing substantial single 3D printed components like aerospace ducts measuring up to 840 mm in length, and batch production of smaller parts, achieving 45% higher throughput compared to smaller build volumes. This expanded capacity eliminates 3 specific production challenges: the need to segment large designs into smaller components, post-processing time for joining multiple pieces, and structural integrity compromises at connection points.

Printer controls and software

The P550DL SLS 3D printer operates through Windows 10 with a user interface designed for simple control despite the machine’s industrial-grade capabilities. The printer processes STL file formats exclusively and features 3 primary control components: the main machine unit, control unit, and integrated operating interface. For example, the control system coordinates the dual 140W COâ‚‚ lasers at scanning speeds of 22,000 mm/s while maintaining precise temperature control at 230 °C / 160 °C, according to technical documentation published by TPM3D in their P Series SLS industrial printer specifications.

The machine integrates VoxelDance Additive — TPM3D Version software for comprehensive processing control, providing 7 key functions: 3D model import, repair, orientation optimization, 3D nesting, slicing, hatching, and laser path planning. For example, the software’s algorithms enable the intelligent collaborative multi-laser scanning strategy that improves overall printing efficiency by exactly 45% compared to single-laser equipment, according to TPM3D’s technical team documentation (2022, product announcement). VoxelDance’s efficient kernel algorithm significantly improves workflow efficiency, as demonstrated in comparison testing against previous software solutions conducted by TPM3D, according to Zhao Luan, TPM3D Chairman, who described VoxelDance as offering "leading technology" during their strategic partnership announcement. The software interfaces directly with the printer’s dual-laser coordination system to implement wider overlapping scanning areas and optimize production speed while maintaining consistent part quality.

Look and feel

The TPM3D P550DL features an industrial white exterior with gray trim accents. The main machine weighs 3527 lbs (1600 kg) and stands at 91.3 inches (2300 mm) tall with a footprint of 72.8 x 58.7 inches (1850 x 1490 mm). Featuring a compact design for an industrial-grade solution, the P550DL integrates 4 key components into a single operational unit: main build unit, control unit, breakout station, and nitrogen generation system, creating a complete production environment that occupies 30% less floor space than systems requiring separate components.
