Z Rapid iSLM280.
Mid-volume workhorse for functional production.
The mid-volume model in the Z Rapid LPBF portfolio. Build envelope of 280 × 280 × 350 mm, single or dual fiber laser (500 W or 500 W × 2), industrial machine class. Often the starting point for manufacturers adopting LPBF for production — small batches, mold inserts, near-net-shape parts, and functional components in titanium, stainless steel, or aluminium.

Technical specifications
Specifications derived from public Z Rapid product pages. For a quote with BENELUX conditions — installation, training, maintenance, sample print — we recommend a personal conversation. Exact parameters and configuration options confirmed against the current factory datasheet.
Where this configuration pays off
Three typical scenarios where this Z Rapid configuration is the right choice for your production.
Small batches & functional parts
Brackets, flanges, sensor housings, and near-net-shape parts in stainless steel or aluminium — low to medium volumes without casting or forging tooling. Lead time from CAD to working part in days, not weeks.
Mold inserts & cooling channels
Injection-molding inserts in tool steel (MS1) with conformal cooling channels that are not machinable. Cycle-time reduction and improved part quality for mold-makers and plastic-injection moulders.
Heat exchangers & cooling components
Aluminium heat exchangers and water-cooling radiators with internal channels not conventionally manufacturable. High surface-to-volume ratio for maximum heat transfer.
Functional parts in titanium, stainless steel and aluminium.

What 3DPS does for iSLM280 customers
DfAM & sample print
We assess your parts for LPBF suitability and propose DfAM adjustments. For representative geometry we can arrange a sample print so you have density, dimension, and surface in hand before commitment.
Configuration advice
Which laser configuration, which materials starter-set, which peripherals (chiller, sieving, oven, shielding gas)? We work through the business scenario on your parts mix and planned volume.
Installation & training
On-site installation, operator training on your own parts, first parameter tuning. You start with machine time on your production parts, not on a demo cube.
Support & supply
Wear parts, consumables, and metal powder from BENELUX stock. Remote support within business hours; on-site at escalation. Maintenance intervals integrated into your production schedule.
Does iSLM280 fit your parts?
Send us your part drawing or CAD file. We assess geometry, material, and volume against LPBF and against wire-laser DED, and advise independently which route is technically and economically most attractive — not a sales pitch, an honest comparison.
