At MTT our most important asset is our people and our biggest challenge is tocommunicate the benefits of our technologies and services to our market place.This brochure is designed to give an overview of all the products and technologiesavailable from the MTT Technologies Group. Product specific brochures aredetailed throughout this document.Our history as MCP is something we are very proud of and has been created as aresult of the combined efforts of many people over several decades. The task forMTT is to continue these efforts and grow a strong and vibrant business with thecustomer at the heart of everything that we do.Can we help you?For more information about the history of our company and new productdevelopments, please visit our website at: www.mtt-group.com05
CAD driven direct manufacturingin a wide range of metalsMTT Selective Laser MeltingMTT’s Selective Laser Melting (SLM) is a pioneering additive manufacturingprocess capable of producing fully dense metal parts direct from 3D CADusing a high-powered fiber laser. Parts are built from a range of fine metalpowders that are fully melted in a tightly controlled atmosphere layer bylayer in thicknesses ranging from 20 to 100 microns. The current rangeof machines are the third generation designs and, following several yearsof detailed market feedback from key development partners and clients,now represent state of the art manufacturing systems. Key featuresproviding significant enhancements over previous models include variablepowder delivery, ultra low Oxygen content in the build atmosphere and anunparalleled safe change filter system to minimise user materials contact.The range comprises the SLM 250 and the SLM 125, both of which featurevacuum technology and low gas consumption. The machine has beendesigned for ease of use within a manufacturing environment and featuresa touch screen interface and various menu options for machine preparationand clean down. Machine robustness has been given a high priority adoptinga ‘machine tool’ approach to use and serviceability. Consumables costs areminimised through careful design and features such as the soft re-coaterblade, that can be rotated several times before replacement, and the use oflow cost filter elements right through to low gas consumption, all contributeto system reliability and low cost of ownership.MTT’s SLM systems have always processed a wide selection of materialsand the new range is no exception, but with the additional benefits of rapidmaterials change over via a cassette type materials delivery system;particularly useful where materials development or product variety areneeded. The capability to safely process reactive materials such as Titaniumand Aluminium is a standard feature on MTT SLM machines. In particularthe gas knife that clears away reactive sooty emissions and the heatedbuild plate are both pre-requisites for the successful processing ofboth materials.Both the new machines feature a fully welded vacuum chamber, enablinglow-pressure evacuation followed by a recharge with high purity Argon gas.The gas consumption rate, after the initial chamber flood, is extremely low,and allows operation at Oxygen concentrations below 50 parts per million– a crucial factor when processing reactive materials such as Titaniumand Aluminium; and contributing significantly to material integrity andmechanical performance.06
