The dual laser solution of the 150 family: Print Genius 150 is an innovative additive system based on Powder Bed Fusion technology, based o n Prima Additive’s 150 platform, which features a cylindrical working volume of Ø150mm and H = 160mm.
In its standard version, the machine features a laser configuration with two 300W infrared lasers that operate simultaneously on the same work area, thus reducing part build times.
The system has optimized gas flow for minimum nitrogen or argon consumption and material can be changed in less than two hours thanks to modular components.
Like the other machines in the 150 Series, it is equipped with a system for adjusting the focal point of the laser beam as required, so that parameters are always optimized to suit the application. It also has a dual pre-heating system that allows the surface of the powder bed to be heated both from above and below via a heated plate, thus allowing the powder bed to reach a temperature of up to 300°C.
The high-speed coaxial pyrometer monitors the temperature in real time and 2 cameras monitor the process and the powder bed. The system has open parameters, suitable for process and material research and development.
To reduce the waste of materials, especially when carrying out research on new alloys or processing precious metals, it is possible to install a plate reduction to narrow the area of both the building cylinder and the powder feeding cylinder, bringing the building area to a customized size according to needs, reaching up to a minimum of Ø 30 mm (H = 80 mm). The reduction kit is removable, thus allowing you to use the entire work area or the reduced one depending on application needs.
Print Genius 150 Double Wavelength
Print Genius 150 is also available in a “Double Wavelength” version. What makes this machine unique is the innovative configuration of the laser sources: Print Genius 150 Double Wavelength is equipped with a 300W infrared laser and a 200W green laser, which can operate alternately on the same work area. This makes it possible to process both alloys that can conventionally be processed using infrared lasers (steel alloys, aluminum, titanium nickel, cobalt chrome), as well as pure copper or other highly reflective materials with the green laser.
Laser configuration:
- Standard version: 2x single mode IR fiber lasers with 300W power and 100% overlap area.
- Double Wavelength version: 1x single mode fiber laser in IR with 300W power + 1x green fiber laser with 200W power
A single line width of 0.1mm and minimum layer thickness of 0.02mm can be achieved for high precision. A reliable and compact 3-axis optical scanning system, offering high processing speeds and various scanning strategies.
Intuitive, intelligent control software allows rapid orientation of parts and defining of machine functions by the operator. With an open, easy-to-use process parameter management tool, you can also change key print parameters, select your scanning strategy and export machine-readable files.
The system is equipped with a filter unit for recirculating gas within the working area. The filter unit maintains a high level of cleanliness and is easily adjustable thanks to the control installed on the interface. Gas flow within the chamber can be modified to optimise flow as required.
- Building volume: Ø 150mm; h=160mm

Application support
You imagine it, we make it reality.
Metal additive manufacturing offers endless possibilities for companies like yours, but often when facing challenges such as implementing a new technology within your context, what you need is the right teammate. That teammate is us: we like to think of it as a partnership. We like to work close to our customers, sharing knowledge, ideas, dreams and, why not, fears.
Design support
Additive changes you.
The strength of additive manufacturing lies in being able to make parts with shapes that were previously unthinkable. For this reason, if you are approaching this technology for the first time, you will probably need to adjust the design of your components to make them more functional, lighter, and better performing.
