GE Additive’s XLine 2000R has a build volume of 160 litres and is used for producing large-scale components in the aerospace and automotive industries. The machine features separation of the process and handling station, which enables safe operation of the machine and easier handling. Additionally, the X Line 2000R has a rotating mechanism, allowing two build modules to be used reciprocally, guaranteeing constant production with minimal downtimes.
