Additive layer manufacturing (ALM) has revolutionised the near-net-shape fabrication of precision componentsand advanced cellular and microlattice materials in industries such as aerospace, automotive & medicaldevices. The laser is the primary component and expense in ALM machines but despite high costs (>£25k), thecost and performance of current laser sources particularly for stereolithography result in manufacturingcosts only supporting prototyping. Applied Materials Technology and Euriscus Ltd seek to address thisrequirement through a novel enabling laser technology for stereolithography with a radical improvements tothe cost, power density, compactness, stability, switching speed, reliability, longevity, tuneability, compactnessand electrical efficiency. The step change in the expense, functionality, performance and size of lasers forstereolithography will significantly improve laser scanning speeds, improve part quality and bring opportunitiesto introduce high speed raster scanning systems to promote ALM as an industrial production technology fornovel components and advanced materials.

添加剂层制造（ALM）彻底改变了近网形成精密组件和高级蜂窝和微层材料（例如航空航天，汽车和医疗服务厂）的近代形成。激光是ALM机器中的主要组件和费用，但希望高成本（> 25k），当前激光源的第三个和性能，尤其是用于立体光刻术，导致制造法只支持原型制造。应用材料技术和Euriscus Ltd试图通过新颖的激光技术来解决这一要求，以实现立体光刻技术，从而对成本，功率密度，紧凑，稳定性，开关速度，可靠性，寿命，寿命，可调性，紧凑性和电效率进行了根本改善。激光浮雕学的费用，功能，性能和大小的逐步变化将显着提高激光扫描速度，提高零件质量并带来机会IMTISTIESTO引入高速栅格扫描系统，以推广ALM作为工业生产技术Fornovel组件和高级材料。
