The Velo3D Sapphire XC is a production-scale metal laser powder bed fusion printer that gives users up to 5X productivity improvement and 75% cost reduction per part when compared to the existing Sapphire system. Sapphire XC uses the same advanced functionality featured in the standard Sapphire® but expands the build volume to 600 mm Ø by 550 mm z-height and increases overall throughput.
Sapphire XC is an end-to-end metal additive manufacturing solution that is fully integrated with Flow pre-print software and Assure layer by layer quality monitoring and control software. The Velo3D manufacturing solution uses the same software, processes, and materials across the entire portfolio of Sapphire printers. It also utilizes the same optical-train design, recoater technology, gasflow technology, and metrology as the current Sapphire.
