Technology & Products
Key Products
Laser cladding and Directed Energy Deposition (DED) systems for industrial metal applications, featuring proprietary 'Scan-to-Path' technology.
Technological Advantage
CLAIMED: Fully automated 'closed-loop' repair cycle for high-value industrial components. VERIFIED: Integrated 3D laser scanning and automated toolpath generation (Patents EP2944412, DE102014106744). DEFENSIBLE: Patented sensor-to-software integration that enables 'Scan-to-Path' workflows without manual CAD intervention.
Differentiation
Value Proposition
Integration of laser cladding/DED technology into industrial manufacturing processes, leveraging expertise in CNC cutting systems.
How They Differentiate
Automates the repair of components with stochastic wear geometries using 'Scan-to-Path' technology, reducing programming time by approximately 80% compared to Trumpf or DMG MORI systems which typically require manual CAD/CAM intervention for repair toolpaths.
