DMG Mori Unveils New Hybrid Additive Manufacturing System
DMG Mori has launched the LASERTEC 65 DED hybrid 2, a new hybrid additive manufacturing system that combines Directed Energy Deposition (DED) with multi-axis milling.
The new LASERTEC 65 DED hybrid 2 system from DMG Mori integrates Directed Energy Deposition (DED) technology with multi-axis milling capabilities. This hybrid approach allows for both the additive creation of components and subsequent subtractive machining within a single machine setup.
The DED process utilizes a laser to melt powder material, which is then deposited onto a substrate to build up complex geometries layer by layer. Following the additive process, the integrated milling spindle can be employed for precision finishing and the creation of intricate features that may not be achievable through DED alone.
This combination aims to streamline manufacturing workflows by reducing the need for part transfer between different machines, potentially saving time and improving accuracy. The system is designed to handle a variety of materials suitable for DED processes, enabling the production of parts with tailored material properties.
DMG Mori's development of this hybrid system underscores the growing trend towards integrated manufacturing solutions in the additive manufacturing sector. The LASERTEC 65 DED hybrid 2 is positioned to cater to industries requiring high-precision components with complex designs and advanced material requirements.
The LASERTEC 65 DED hybrid 2 represents a significant advancement in integrated additive manufacturing. By merging DED with multi-axis milling, it reduces part handling and enhances precision, crucial for complex aerospace and industrial components. This fusion aligns with the industry's push for more versatile, efficient, and automated production, enabling in-situ repair and part creation with advanced material properties.
