FastForm AiForm-G1 — Copper & Aluminum SLM 3D Printer

FastForm AiForm-G1 — Copper & Aluminum SLM 3D Printer

FastForm AiForm-G1 — industrial SLM 3D printer for metal printing, created for tasks where precision, geometry stability, and surface quality are critical. The model is focused on manufacturing complex parts with thin walls and repeatable results in the production cycle.

Density and accuracy of parts from batch to batch

AiForm-G1 operates using Selective Laser Melting (SLM) technology — layer-by-layer melting of metal powder with a laser, which allows obtaining parts with high density and reliable mechanical properties. This approach is especially valuable when it is necessary to combine complex geometry, precision, and result stability from batch to batch.

500W green laser for reflective metals

Most industrial SLM printers use infrared (IR) lasers, but FastForm AiForm-G1 is equipped with a 500W green single-mode fiber laser. This is fundamentally important when you plan to print with pure copper or precious metals, which strongly reflect infrared radiation, as well as when maximum accuracy in manufacturing aluminum components with internal channels for liquid cooling is required. What happens during the printing process:

• Better energy absorption. Copper and gold absorb the green spectrum much more efficiently than infrared. This makes the melting process more stable — without "spitting" and the risk of overheating the optics.
• Higher density and fewer pores. Energy is predictably transferred to the metal powder, so it is easier to obtain parts with high density and a minimum of micropores — critical for conductivity and heat transfer (electronics, heat exchangers).
• Ultra-thin walls and fine structures. The shorter wavelength allows focusing the beam into an extremely small point. This makes thin-walled elements from 0.1 mm, grids, and thin radiators realistic.
• Process stability. Copper is characterized by an "unstable melt bath" with an IR laser due to strong reflection. The green laser provides more uniform melting from the start of the layer, which directly enhances the stable repeatability of the result.

Key advantages of AiForm-G1

• Optimal build area 140×140×200 mm: convenient format for small and medium parts, grids, cooling channels, thin-walled elements.
• Green single-mode fiber laser 500 W: energy for stable melting and productive work.
• Intelligent focusing: for stable quality across the entire build plane.
• High scanning speed up to 7 m/s: faster layer formation and better production cycle efficiency.
• Printing thin walls from 0.1 mm: important for heat exchangers, lattice structures, and lightweight constructions.
• Layer thickness 20–60 μm: balance between detail and print speed.
• Permanent filter: a constant filter to minimize downtime and replacements.
• Proprietary software: the printer comes with the FastLayer/FastFab ecosystem, which simplifies preparation and management of the printing process within a single software stack.

Where AiForm-G1 gives maximum benefits

An SLM platform of this class usually performs best in tasks:

• prototyping and small batch production of metal parts;
• parts with internal channels, porous/lattice structures;
• components with accuracy and repeatability requirements;
• high-efficiency heat exchangers made of pure copper;
• electrical components (busbars, coils, conductive elements);
• parts or products made of precious metals, where quality without defects is important.
