Energy Industry
Manufacturing and repair of turbine components, housings and valves made of heat-resistant alloys. Material and process selection depends on component requirements and applicable standards.
Applications
Applications for Industrial Metal 3D Printing
Metal 3D printing can be used for various industrial applications. Technical and economic suitability depends, among other things, on component geometry, material, batch size, quality requirements, delivery time and post-processing.
Mechanical Engineering & Special Machinery
Structural components, special parts and hybrid assemblies. Suitability depends on component geometry, material, batch size and quality requirements.

Additive repair, cladding and functional integration in forming and injection moulding tools. Specific processes and achievable results depend on system, material and geometry.
Read more →Additive Repair & Cladding
Selective material deposition for repair and reconditioning of worn metal components. Applicable processes include DED-LB/M, DED-Arc/M and laser cladding, depending on material and geometry.

Structural components made of titanium and high-performance alloys. Near-net-shape manufacturing can reduce material use compared to conventional machining. Suitability must be evaluated for each component and application.
Research & Development
Development of new alloys, multi-material structures and testing of novel component geometries. Additive manufacturing can reduce iteration cycles in research compared to tooling-based methods.
Spare Part Production
Production of discontinued or difficult-to-procure spare parts from existing drawings or 3D scans. Suitability depends on material, geometry, tolerances and required certifications.
Hybrid Manufacturing
Combining additive and subtractive processes in coordinated manufacturing chains. A typical example is additive material deposition followed by CNC machining to achieve defined dimensions, surfaces or functional faces.
Industrial Maintenance
Repair of worn plant components, housings, shafts and sealing surfaces using additive processes. On-site application depends on process, system mobility and material.
Submit Your Project Enquiry
Welding3D receives your enquiry centrally, structures your requirements and, where appropriate, forwards them to suitable registered manufacturers or service providers. Not every application is automatically suitable for metal 3D printing — technical requirements, material, component geometry, quality, post-processing and economic framework conditions should be evaluated beforehand.
