Why Metal Additive Manufacturing for Mechanical Engineering?
Mechanical engineering — especially special machinery, plant engineering and automation — requires robust, large-format metal components in small quantities with short lead times. DED, LMD and WAAM processes address exactly these requirements: no tooling, no minimum lot sizes and direct integration into existing CNC or robot infrastructure.
- Large components without build space limitations
- Near-net-shape manufacturing with minimal waste
- Hybrid production: additive + CNC in one step
- Short delivery times for prototype and special parts
- Repair and refurbishment of existing components
Typical Applications in Mechanical Engineering
Special Parts
Unique components, replacement parts and prototype parts with short lead times and without tooling costs.
Hybrid Assemblies
Combination of existing components with additive build-up for new functions or extended dimensions.
Repair & Rework
Restoration of worn components: build-up of material, dimensional correction and functional restoration.
Near-Net-Shape
Near-final-contour production that minimizes downstream CNC machining — saves time and material.
Robot Integration
DED/LMD systems on industrial robots for flexible manufacturing and in-situ repair at large components.
