Hybrid complete machining: additive manufacturing and milling on one machine

Flexibility through the combination of generative and machining processing for 3D components in finished part quality

• Automatic changing of the laser head via shuttle handling – CNC-controlled without manual intervention
• 5-axis material setup with coaxial nozzle for uniform powder distribution regardless of the laser setup direction
• Full 5-axis milling machine in sturdy monoBLOCK design with 12 m² floor space

Process monitoring and adaptive process control (closed loop)

• High user-friendliness thanks to specially developed software with user-oriented interface and CELOS integration
• Process monitoring for maximum process reliability and quality assurance
• Continuous melt pool analysis via process camera and automatic control of laser power in real time for homogeneous component quality

Siemens NX: Hybrid CAD / CAM – module for additive and subtractive programming

• One software package for the entire process chain: product development, design and manufacturing - additive manufacturing, machining / finishing
• Unique LASERTEC build-up strategies fully integrated into the CAD / CAM software incl. 3D simulation for process control and collision control
• Shorter time-to-market thanks to fully integrated PLM software

Disruptive design possibilities

• 5-axis controlled powder deposition welding on complete machining centers drives innovation
• New finished part geometries in a solid component through alternating generative and machining
• Increased component performance thanks to material-efficient composite materials (e.g. Inconel + copper)
• Components with internal contours for new and improved component functions
