3D metal printer for industrial applications
We have noticed that often in industries such as foundry, automotive and transportation, engineers need durable metal parts for use in vehicles or as inserts for injection molds. Important to them is the larger size and weight optimization of the parts.
Similarly, medical laboratories are taking advantage of 3D printing for the production of medical devices and equipment parts from metal. They print implants, personalized tools and medical device parts. What matters to them is the optimal return on their investment in a device capable of working with complex geometries and offering speed.
The BLT A300 printer will work for these demands as an industrial solution. It allows printing from metal where parameters like mechanical strength or high temperature resistance are important.
The A300 is used by industries such as foundry, footwear, parts and toolmaking, medicine, and prosthetics.
Immediate transition between the design and production phases
Robust prints: implants, tools, prototypes with end properties
Prints without distortion
Double airflow protection – system security
Gas protection of the laser lens
Speed of component manufacturing – high throughput
Customizable laser configuration and high layer – part production speed up to 50 cm3/hour
Remote print supervision – live tracking of the printing process
Saving metal powder – closed loop option with recycling
Long-lasting and easily neutralized filters
The layer height of the A300 is 20-100 microns. This implies precision and speed of printing.
BLT supplies metal powders for its printers at favorable prices. You will be able to source materials from the manufacturer.
The BLT-MCS software that comes with the BLT A300 allows detailed control of the print run and optimization of models in successive iterations.
Modular design of water-injection filters allows for easy replacement and safe neutralization outside the unit.
You can use long-life filters with a life span of up to 10 years. Install and print without limits.
Want to monitor your printer’s performance live? With the built-in live reporting system, you can do so remotely.
You will customize the A300 to suit your needs. Prefer to print faster? You can choose the printer in a configuration with 2 or 4 lasers with 500 or 1000 watts of power.
BLT printers are a full suite of digital solutions. All devices run on dedicated BLT-MCS software. On the printer-operator line you will find such solutions as error monitoring and making live print corrections, intelligent powder dispensing or image recognition for layers.
If you need to efficiently manage production from software, BLT has prepared the BLT-MES program for factory floor operation.
We are in constant contact with the manufacturer and make repairs using authorized parts and methods.
Yes, we won’t leave you alone. Along with each printer, we offer training for employees on how to use the device.
What will you gain by implementing BLT A300 in your company?
Access to low-cost metal powders, safe and easily neutralizable filters, excellent price threshold for entry into SLM technology.
3D metal printing is a good solution for R&D departments of manufacturing companies, tool shops and dental laboratories. If you are wondering why you should invest in BLT 3D printers, we have prepared a practical guide for you.
In it, we explain how 3D metal printing solutions from BLT will work both at the beginning of the journey and at later stages of production growth.
Our material will come in handy when you’re conducting an ROI assessment. Thanks to its compact form, you’ll also be able to present it to decision-makers or management.
Example costs when producing SS316L steel parts (36 grippers of 147 x 50 x 60 mm) on BLT S400, compared to outsourcing.
To implement an in-house printer is to become independent of the supplies, logistics and deadlines of subcontractors. It is also worth including indirect benefits in the calculation of the investment. You can also consider state subsidies.
Do you aim to get into 3D printing on an industrial level and need financing for selected solutions? At the same time you may not want to lock up full amounts of your own funds. At CadXpert, we support you from the beginning of your journey and enable you to take advantage of leasing our equipment.
We work with several partners to obtain financing for your projects. We will show you where you can go to find support and get funding with simplified procedures and maximum customer care. We will help you buy and implement very quickly.
Leasing is the optimal solution for businesses. With no one-time investment, the device works for you from the beginning and you can treat the installments as a tax-deductible expense.
At CadXpert, we provide warranty care for the equipment throughout its lifetime in consultation with BLT (Germany).
You will be able to get in touch at any time about the operation of the device and get the missing information.
Our implementation consultants, as part of the initial application analysis, will help you find additional applications for your printer so that you can realize the full potential of the device.
We will send a consultant to your factory floor to review possible 3D printing applications and conduct an application analysis for the printer.

If you are thinking about using 3D printing and want to learn more and count the return on investment, talk to our 3D printing consultant.
As part of the conversation, the consultant:
In furtherance of our cooperation:
Do you have a specific problem or challenge that 3D printing could solve?
What size parts do you want to print? The most common prints are important, as they are the ones worth investing in 3D printers for.
What is more important to you aesthetics or the durability of the print? This will help us determine the right printing technology.
Is the print to meet any additional requirements? E.g. chemical resistance, heat resistance, biocompatibility certificate, pressure maintenance, low weight, handling of very heavy loads, abrasion resistance, good sliding properties, etc.
