INCT GmbH
Laser metal 3D printing systems rely on precise and synchronized motion control to ensure layer accuracy, surface quality, and overall build stability. Coordinated control of the lifting axis and scanning system is critical throughout long and complex printing cycles.
This project describes a motion control solution for a laser metal 3D printing system using INCT servo and motion control products.
The lifting axis requires high-precision synchronized dual-drive control to maintain layer flatness and dimensional accuracy during the build process. At the same time, the scanning axis must support high-speed motion with stable dynamic response.
The laser metal 3D printing process involves complex and customized motion sequences, placing high demands on controller flexibility, communication performance, and system scalability.
In addition, the customer requires a motion control platform with stable long-term availability to support future mass production and equipment standardization.
INCT provides a coordinated motion control solution by integrating servo motors, servo drives, and a motion controller, designed for laser metal 3D printing applications.
The solution includes the following core products:
Used for multi-axis position synchronization and coordinated motion control between lifting and scanning axes.
Applied to the lifting and scanning axes, providing high dynamic response and stable torque output.
Provides precise speed and torque control with fast communication performance, supporting complex motion profiles required by additive manufacturing processes.
Full-cycle engineering support is provided from system design through commissioning.
The implemented solution enables stable and synchronized operation of the laser metal 3D printing system and supports the following equipment performance levels:
| Specification | Unit | Value |
| Laser Power | W | 500 |
| Laser Wavelength | nm | 1060–1080 |
| Maximum Scanning Speed | m/s | 7 |
| Laser Spot Diameter | μm | 60–200 |
| Powder Layer Thickness | μm | 20–100 |
| Maximum Build Size | mm | 400 × 400 × 450 |
These results demonstrate that the motion control system meets the synchronization and dynamic performance requirements of medium- to large-format laser metal 3D printers.
• High synchronization accuracy under high-speed motion
• Integrated servo and motion control architecture
• Flexible control logic for complex printing processes
• Stable long-term product availability for scalable manufacturing
