Fraunhofer ILT and Etxetar are expanding the industrial adoption of Laser Metal Deposition (LMD) and extreme high-speed laser ...

Regulatory pressure, high-value repair and the need for scalable industrial solutions are pushing laser-based manufacturing processes into new territory. Fraunhofer ILT and Etxetar are responding by ...

Laser-based metal deposition encompasses a suite of directed-energy deposition methods in which a focused laser beam is used to fuse metal feedstock—commonly powder or wire—onto a substrate, building ...

The developers of a new, hybrid manufacturing process that combines laser material deposition with turning (or grinding, or milling) claim it allows high-strength materials to be applied quickly and ...

Compared with general additive manufacturing (AM) methods, Multi-material additive manufacturing (MMAM) enables a higher level of design freedom, such as integrating materials, structure and function ...
