Additive Manufacturing (AM) offers new opportunities to optimize existing process chains, to change value chains and to create new business models. The range of topics covered by the "Directed Energy Manufacturing" department extends from Laser Powder Bed Fusion (LPBF) and Laser Cladding with Wire (LMD-W) to the functionalization of surfaces and the repair of high-quality components and tools using laser beams. By considering complete process chains and our deep understanding of other technologies, we are also competent partners for questions of technology organization and optimization of hybrid manufacturing systems.
In the field of water jet manufacturing we develop water jet cutting as well as water jet ablation.
