Sodick OPM250L: High-Precision Metal 3D Printing for Mold & Die Applications

Metal 3D printing has become a game-changer in the world of additive manufacturing, particularly for precision-demanding industries such as mold and die. The Sodick OPM250L is a hybrid machine that combines metal additive manufacturing with high-speed CNC milling in one seamless process — streamlining production, reducing lead times, and improving part quality.

What Is the Sodick OPM250L?

The OPM250L is a hybrid metal 3D printing system that uses a fiber laser to sinter metal powder and then mills the part in layers using a high-speed spindle. This approach ensures a smooth surface finish and maintains tight tolerances — key factors in producing high-precision molds and parts.

Who Is This Machine For?

The Sodick OPM250L is ideal for:

• Mold and die manufacturers who require complex cooling channels and high accuracy

• Aerospace and medical industries needing strong, lightweight, and intricate parts

• R&D centers exploring the advantages of metal additive manufacturing

Why Choose Hybrid Metal 3D Printing?

Traditional metal 3D printing often requires post-processing. The OPM250L eliminates this step by integrating milling after each layer, reducing manual finishing time and achieving a part that’s production-ready right off the machine.

This is not just 3D printing — it’s smart additive manufacturing that delivers both design freedom and production efficiency.
