OR Laser’s Orlas Creator 3D printer now available from Laser Lines

OR Laser has unveiled its direct metal additive manufacturing platform and ecosystem, Orlas Creator, which has been developed specifically for SMEs. Availability in the UK is via Laser Lines.

With a build volume of 100 mm diameter by 110 mm high and using a 250 W laser, OR Laser says the build platform is original in design and functionality, while a novel blade design ensures smooth operation and increased build speeds that produce parts up to 30% faster.

In terms of safe operation, the Orlas Creator utilises a cartridge materials handling system. Filled cartridges can be supplied by OR laser, but the company keenly recognises the need for an open material system, and operates accordingly. Moreover, parts produced on the machine offer a resolution comparable with higher specification machines, says the company. No third-party software is required to run the Orlas Creator.
