IND175: Learning the EOS M100 Metal 3D Printer
Direct metal laser sintering, or “DMLS” 3D printing, is a type of metal powder bed fusion that produces solid objects, using a precise laser source to induce fusion between very fine metal powder particles one layer at a time.
Most powder bed fusion technologies employ mechanisms for adding powder as the object is being constructed, resulting in the final component being encased in and supported by the surrounding metal powder. Rather than melt the powdered metal together, DMLS heats it to a point so that it can fuse on a molecular level to produce parts from metal alloys. Our EOS M100 3D printer is a DMLS machine, and can currently print in titanium and stainless steel.
As far as we know, we have the only metal 3D printer in Wyoming, and the only metal 3D printer in the Rocky Mountains available for members of the pubic to learn how to use.

In this course, you'll learn:
Why powdered metal can be a serious hazard, and advanced safety rules for operating the EOS M100 direct metal laser sintering 3D printer. Details for those who wish to operate the machine, including attending required UW Respirator Training course and required PPE before operation.
What to do in case of emergencies.
How to prepare the EOS M100, including handling the inert Argon gas, cleaning the printer, and laying down initial layers of powdered metal.
Operating the Magics and associated EOS slicer software to get your 3D file ready for printing.
Starting the printer, and monitoring your project.
