Expensive materials used in aerospace, energy and medical industries can be formed into near net shapes by laser metal deposition to reduce total production time. Additive manufacturing of different types of metals can be used for increased durability and anti-corrosiveness.
Laser from the nozzle center melts the base material and the metal powder supplied from around the nozzle.
Heat source: Laser
Laser resonator: Direct Diode 1.0 kW, 2.0 kW, 4.0 kW, 6.0 kW
Spot diameter: To suit the application
Material: Metal powder
Advanced additive manufacturing (AM) technology integrated into multi-tasking 5 axis machining centre.
Wire arc AM is suitable for a variety of processes, such as; component near net shape, repair of molds, and other AM applications.
Metal wire melted by an electrical arc is deposited on a base material. Programmable welding automation is performed.
Heat: Electric Arc
Type of arc: MIG
Max. current: 300 A
Material: Metal wire Φ1.0 mm (Φ0.04“), Φ1.2 mm (Φ0.05“)
A near net shape workpiece normally requires a casting to be produced. With additive manufacturing technology, the casting process is not necessary for considerably reduced production time.
