M2 Series 5
With its superior part quality, usability, and repeatability, the M2 Series 5 is perfect for users at every level, whether they are entry-level users or creating parts for highly regulated industries like aerospace and medical.
Capability packages for different levels of adoption.
Designed and optimized in partnership with industry leading customers
M2 Series 5 helps to support customers who have very high expectations for part quality and consistency as well as process validation to open up new possibilities in production. Regardless of the application, it is ideal for any customer, including highly regulated industries that require safety-related parts, such as aerospace and medical. As a result, we achieve best-in-class productivity while reducing costs.
MULTIPLE CAPABILITY PACKAGES AVAILABLE
The Concept Laser M2 Series 5 was designed to meet the most critical requirements by the highly regulated aerospace industry. But we believe that everyone, regardless of industry, region or where you are on your additive journey, should have access to these capabilities. As such, we now offer four capability packages to meet the needs of more customers and help more users adopt additive technology.
- Standard: Ideal for entry-level users, standalone prototyping, or low volume production (available in 400W or 1000W)
- Production: Ideal for full production applications (available in 400W or 1000W). Incorporating quality process monitoring add-ons and productivity tools.

Achieving qualification
Scaling additive production requires qualification. In regulated industries, such as orthopedics and aerospace, rigor is even more important. Our additive experts have experience qualifying hardware in highly regulated markets and can help you reduce the learning curve so you can get your product to market faster. In the end, you will qualify the machine, the material, and the process. We follow industry-wide processes to establish robust and repeatable production outcomes.
Installation Qualification (IQ)
The purpose of the IQ protocol is to provide documented evidence that the machine is installed according to documented and pre-approved specifications.
Operational Qualification (OQ)
The purpose of OQ is to demonstrate that a system operates according to written pre-approved specifications throughout a specified operating range.
Performance Qualification (PQ)
The purpose of PQ is to demonstrate that the additive process, under anticipated manufacturing conditions, consistently produces product(s) that meet all engineering requirements.
"For an entire year, teams from GE Additive and GE Aviation co-located to collaborate on critical characteristics needed for the next iteration of the M2, the M2 Series 5. The focus was on making good parts; getting input on mechanical operations, performance and productivity of the machine; and gaining improvements in reliability and quality."

Why is gas flow important?
Additive technologies have evolved rapidly from a combination of independent laser, powder, software and gas flow subsystems, into the highly sophisticated machine architectures we see today.
