TPM3D S480 3D printer

The TPM3D S480 is an industrial SLS additive manufacturing system from the company’s flagship S series. The solution is CE compliant and consists of the following components: a main build unit, a control unit, an open breakout unit, powder mixer, lift trolley, and a safety rated powder scale. This complete system englobes the whole printing process and is aimed at reliable, simple, cost-effective, and environmentally-friendly production.

The 3D printer features a large build chamber capable of maintaining the heat of up to 160 ℃. In combination with the 230 ℃ powder bed, the device can successfully work not only with standard but also engineering powders (if you are looking for a wider range, take a look at the S320HT or S150HT versions with better thermal rates). Thanks to the high scanning speed of 21000 mm/s, the build speed can reach up to 10–25 mm/h leading to impressive productivity. The flexible multi-purpose software with a set of user-friendly algorithms allows for streamlined operation. To make it even smoother, you can apply the innovative Part & Powder Processing Station serving as an automated dust collector during the cleaning procedures.

Being a machine recommended to both proficient users and those who are new to such technologies, the TPM3D S480 boasts a number of advanced features making for a simplified, effective, and completely safe working process. Apart from the built-in filtering system, oxygen detector, and cooling module, the list includes a smart dual blade recoater for efficient feeding, dynamic focusing for the scanning mechanism, integrated Nitrogen generator, PL-e dual channel security control, and more.

Due to its capabilities, a large molding range, and increased scanning speed compared to the other company’s solutions, the TPM3D S480 is ideal for professional use in manifold areas, including automotive, aviation, medical treatment, electronics, scientific research, education, etc. The machine can efficiently produce top-quality small and large R&D prototypes, models, plastic functional parts, and more.

Print quality

The TPM3D S480 can sinter layers with a minimum thickness of 60 microns that can be further adjusted to the user’s needs. The printer is equipped with a 100W CO2 laser and a three-axis galvo system with dynamic focusing to ensure high accuracy and detail of printed items.

Moreover, the AM machine comes with a heated build chamber and powder bed. Thanks to advanced thermal control, the device reduces the risk of deformation and allows you to smoothly work with high-temperature-demanding materials.

Materials

Due to the open system inherent to all the company’s devices, the TPM3D S480 3D printer works with a remarkable selection of powders with different properties that suit various applications. The machine is compatible with PA11, PA12, PA12 GF, and TPU of black, white, and other customized colors.

Build volume

The TPM3D S480 machine is engineered with a build chamber of 18.9 x 18.9 x 23.6 inches (480 x 480 x 600 mm). It lets you print large items as a whole, without splitting them into several parts, or smaller objects in batches. This leads to significant improvements in terms of production speed and material usage.

Printer controls

The TPM3D S480 can be operated via a separate control unit with a clear and user-friendly interface.

The AM machine is supplied with the Voxeldance Additive software encompassing pre-processing, post-processing, and comprehensive system control functions. The program offers simple operation procedures and a number of handy features, such as 3D data processing and repairing, automatic and manual parts allocation, and convenient slicing, making for a fast, simple, and efficient printing. The integrated software supports the STL file format and runs on Windows 10.0 (64 bit).

Look and feel

The TPM3D S480 model is available in white with gray trimmings. Its stylish look makes it ideal for a range of applications in manifold industries, including automotive, aviation, medical, education, electronics, and more.

The dimensions of the main 3D printer unit are 63 x 58.3 x 87.4 in (1600 x 1480 x 2220 mm). It weighs approximately 3197 lb (1450 kg).

Certificates

TPM3D is the first Chinese SLS additive manufacturing equipment company certified by TüV CE. Their S-Series devices are thoughtfully designed in accordance with EU’s highest safety standards.
