Eplus3D Unveils EP-M550 Multi-Laser Metal AM System for High-Speed Production in a Compact Footprint!

Eplus3D, the Hangzhou-based Additive Manufacturing specialist, has introduced its latest Laser Beam Powder Bed Fusion (PBF-LB) system—the EP-M550—marking a significant upgrade to its industrial metal AM portfolio. Set to debut at Formnext 2025, the new machine offers a compelling combination of increased build capacity, multi-laser productivity, and a compact industrial footprint designed for fast, scalable metal part production.

The EP-M550 features a sizable build volume of 550 × 550 × 450 mm, making it suitable for mid- to large-format components while optimizing material usage and machine throughput. Despite this generous build space, the machine maintains a compact footprint of 4000 × 1900 × 2840 mm, allowing manufacturers to integrate high-output metal AM capability even in facilities where floorspace is limited.

Building on the foundation of the company’s established EP-M400S platform, the EP-M550 carries forward the proven engineering design while introducing a significant performance boost. Most notably, the system offers configurable laser options—up to eight lasers—enabling manufacturers to dramatically accelerate build speeds, reduce production time, and increase overall manufacturing capacity. This modularity provides flexibility for different industries and workflows, supporting both cost-efficient entry setups and high-throughput production environments.

With its multi-laser architecture, the EP-M550 is engineered for demanding applications that require speed, precision, and scalability, including aerospace, automotive, tooling, medical implants, and industrial machinery. By maintaining strict process control and alignment across multiple lasers, the system seeks to ensure consistent surface quality, mechanical performance, and dimensional accuracy across large parts or full-plate builds.

Eplus3D highlights that the EP-M550 retains the same robust mechanical structure and intuitive workflow as its predecessor while introducing enhancements that reduce operational costs and streamline production. Users can expect increased output without significantly increasing facility footprint or infrastructure requirements, making the machine particularly attractive for additive manufacturing farms and mass production environments.

The launch of the EP-M550 demonstrates Eplus3D’s continued push toward high-speed, industrial-scale metal AM solutions that meet global manufacturing demands. The company will showcase the machine and its full range of technologies at Formnext 2025 in Hall 12.0, Booth E101, offering attendees a firsthand look at how its multi-laser systems are shaping the next phase of metal Additive Manufacturing.

With its combination of flexible laser configurations, efficient footprint, and expanded build volume, the EP-M550 positions Eplus3D as a stronger contender in the competitive multi-laser metal AM market—delivering productivity gains that support both prototyping and full-scale production.
