Direct Metal Deposition

3D Printing

  • Print parts as large as 10 feet x 10 feet

  • Single- or multi-material

  • 5-axis material deposition by coaxial nozzle for homogeneous powder distribution, independent from direction of laser deposition welding

  • Print on top of existing parts

  • Ideal replacement for low-volume high-mix castings and forgings

Cladding

  • Clad parts as large as 10 feet x 10 feet

  • Single- or multi-material

  • Clad complex parts with internal channels and other critical features

  • 5-axis material deposition by coaxial nozzle for homogeneous powder distribution, independent from direction of laser deposition welding

  • Repair worn-out parts by cladding existing part

  • Machining, heat treatment and inspection

  • Ideal solution for refurbishing parts that have limited damage
