Concept Laser M2 Series 5
Enabling repeatability at scale
Designed for high-quality builds at scale
The M2 Series 5 can unlock your company’s manufacturing potential. The new system provides an elevated level of productivity and repeatability by minimizing the effects of process variations. The result: fast builds that help lower your company’s cost.
The powerful dual-laser system—available in
both 400 W and 1kW—combined with 3D optics enables 100% coverage per laser, meaning that both optical systems have full build-field overlap.
A dedicated thermal control of the optics further leads to improved thermal and optical stability, accuracy, and best-in-class stitching. Due to the small but variable spot size, the system provides the user with more flexibility that enables both fine features and enhanced productivity.
The flow-optimized build chamber of the
M2 Series 5 now allows for a more constant gas flow. Additionally, the new optimized gas flow design eliminates recirculation and reduces variation by 25% over the entire build field.
New part vectorization allows for additional flexibility to part parameter design, enabling new geometries and ensuring part quality, especially with increased part complexity. The pre-calculation helps to save time and boost productivity. In combination with multiple internal sensors, this ensures a more tightly controlled build environment, resulting in significantly better part quality and consistency. These are the key drivers for success in safety-relevant industries like aerospace and medical and other industries looking at scaled production.
Offering maximum usability, maintainability and safety
The M2 Series 5 features a unique safety system that promotes safety and efficient handling of reactive materials. This is made possible by the physical separation of the process chamber and a material handling side, connected with a movable build module. Additionally, all powder handling processes are performed under inert gas to prevent oxidation and safety hazards. The integrated glovebox system enables safe, non-contact handling of reactive or harmful materials and enables the dust-protected removal of parts. Together with the
newly optimized water-floodable filter modules, the M2 Series 5 offers maximum protection for the machine operators, while extending the filter life and reducing operating costs.
The system is designed to maximize usability and maintainability. All functionalities of the machine have been optimized for easy access and handling. The new software of the M2 Series 5 helps you save time before, during and after the build process.

CAPABILITY PACKAGES
The Concept Laser M2 Series 5 was designed to meet the most critical requirements by the highly regulated aerospace industry. But we believe that everyone, regardless of industry, region or where you are on your additive journey, should have access to these capabilities. As such, we now offer four capability packages to meet the needs of more customers and help more users adopt additive technology.
Standard – Ideal for entry-level users, standalone prototyping or low volume production
Production – Ideal for full production applications (available in 400W or 1kW)
Regulated – Ideal for high quality output, regulated industries, and stringent qualification requirements
