Hofmann CNC buys dual-laser Eplus3D EP-M300 to add metal AM to its machining

German contract manufacturer Hofmann CNC has bought an Eplus3D EP-M300 with two lasers and will cooperate with the machine maker on metal additive manufacturing. The laser powder bed fusion system is meant to extend the company's existing machining capacity and to support a local application centre for metal 3D printing.

Context Laser powder bed fusion builds metal parts layer by layer by melting thin layers of powder with a laser.
