Repair & Restoration of Metal Components with Additive Manufacturing (DED/LMD)
Selective restoration of worn or damaged metal components using laser metal deposition (DED/LMD) — without replacement procurement, with minimal downtime and at a fraction of the cost of new production.

Repair Instead of Replace
For expensive, large or hard-to-procure metal components, repair with additive manufacturing (DED/LMD) is often significantly more economical than new procurement — and much faster.
Cost savings
For high-value components, DED/LMD repair costs are typically 10–40% of the new procurement price — depending on component, damage pattern and material.
Fast availability
Repair in days or weeks instead of months for new procurement.
Precision
Selective material deposition only where needed — no damage to surrounding areas.
Quality
Metallurgical bonding of deposited material with base material — as good as new.
Suitable Components for Repair
Turbine Components
Blade tips, housing surfaces and sealing areas on turbines and compressors.
Molds & Dies
Damaged forming surfaces, edges and functional contours on injection and forming molds.
Valves & Fittings
Sealing surfaces, seats and worn contact zones on industrial valves and fittings.
Housings & Frames
Large structural components with local damage, corrosion or wear.
Robot Components
Worn grippers, arms and special fixtures for industrial robots.
