Technologies of Metal Additive Manufacturing

From Powder Bed Fusion and Directed Energy Deposition to wire-based processes and Binder Jetting: industrial additive manufacturing encompasses diverse technologies with specific characteristics and applications. Learn how each process works, which alloys can be processed, and which applications they serve.

01

PBF-LB/M – Laser Powder Bed Fusion

Laser-based powder bed process for metals. The achievable properties depend on the material, system, process parameters, component geometry and post-processing.

02

DED-LB/M – Laser-Based Directed Energy Deposition

Filler material in powder or wire form is fed into a laser-generated melt pool. Applications include material deposition, repair, cladding, near-net-shape manufacturing and hybrid process chains.

03

DED-Arc/M & WAAM

Wire-based additive manufacturing process using an electric arc as energy source. Build rate, surface quality and post-processing requirements depend on material, system, process control and component geometry.

Explore Manufacturing Capabilities

Typical Potentials of Industrial Metal 3D Printing

Additive manufacturing processes can offer economic and operational advantages in specific applications. Specific suitability always depends on component, material, process, batch size and quality requirements.

Adapted Material Use

  • Near-net-shape manufacturing possible
  • Reduced material use compared to machining
  • Lower tooling costs in certain applications
  • Depends on process, component and process control

Extended Design Possibilities

  • More complex geometries than conventionally achievable
  • Component consolidation in certain cases
  • Integrated functional elements depending on process
  • Iteration steps in product development

Economic Framework Conditions

  • Shorter supply chains for certain parts
  • Additive repair instead of replacement
  • Small series and individual production possible
  • Economic viability always to be evaluated per component
