Decision context / editorial guidance
Screen the application.
Then qualify the process.
Worth investigating if: your supplier can demonstrate the required alloy, geometry and finished-part specification on the quoted Concept Laser M2 cusing configuration.
Do not buy on this page alone: a published envelope or machine configuration does not establish repeatability, accepted-part cost or local support.
Editorial purchasing guidance, not a verified recommendation for a particular application.

Front view shows X:Z proportions. Depth Y is stated numerically. Supports and clearance reduce usable space.

At a glance
What is it?
Concept Laser M2 cusing is a legacy Concept Laser LPBF system (250 × 250 × 280 mm) from the pre-GE lineage, distinct from today’s Colibrium M2 Series 5.
How does it print?
Laser powder bed fusion (LPBF): a laser melts thin layers of metal powder to build a part.
When might I consider it?
Consider it when a used cusing machine is offered cheaply enough that storage history, laser configuration and licence transfer become the real purchase questions.
What public specs cannot tell you: finished-part speed, cost, quality or fit for your exact application.

Concept Laser M2 cusing price: what the public records show
What did a Concept Laser M2 cusing cost? No OEM list price was published. The public record: three reproduced US federal purchases of this exact model — $741,096 for the basic machine (2014) and $1,076,484 / $1,346,859.50 for 400 W multilaser systems (both 2018). Award totals include contracted scope; they are not OEM list prices.
FEDERAL PURCHASES · 2014–2018 $741,096 – $1,346,859.50
Three reproduced US federal purchases of this exact model, all paid directly to Concept Laser GmbH (OEM-direct): $741,096 for the basic machine (2014) and $1,076,484 / $1,346,859.50 for 400 W multilaser systems (both 2018). Award totals include contracted scope — they are not OEM list prices. Used-market asking prices are separate evidence (in the detailed machine record): a used ask is not a federal transaction, and individual asks differ by unit, configuration and condition. Legacy cusing prices are not current Colibrium M2 Series 5 prices. Reproduced federal awards for EOS M290-class systems ($528,242–$1,383,580, 2016–2024) indicate the class, not this model’s price.

What still needs a supplier answer
| Purchasing question | Evidence gap |
|---|---|
| All-in delivered machine price | Current quote required |
| Build time for your part | Not verified for your geometry |
| Alloy and parameters | Confirm the exact qualified combination |
| Application fit | Confirm tolerances, finishing, inspection and local support |
Source review dates identify when the cited material was reviewed. A source review is not a performance test; genuine third-party corroboration is identified separately.
Prepare a useful quote request
Send your exact alloy, dimensions, orientation, supports, inspection criteria and finishing route. Ask for usable build space and effective build time for that configuration. Include installation, training, service, software, gas supply and qualification in the delivered quote. Unverified fields on this page can be used as questions to confirm directly with the manufacturer before purchase.
