AM Solutions’ powder-based DED system is an advanced metal 3D printing technology that utilizes a high-power laser to create a localized molten pool on the metal surface, while precisely feeding metal powder to build up new metallic layers.
The powder DED process enables the flexible formation of metal components with various geometries and offers broad applicability ranging from fundamental research to advanced applications, including material experimentation, process optimization, and the fabrication and repair of complex parts.
A diverse lineup of Powder DED equipment is available,
POWDER DED SYSTEM
This high-performance powder DED system is designed for R&D applications involving freeform 3D deposition. Its stable 3-axis motion structure makes it well-suited for linear and planar deposition processes.
The built-in smart platform enables real-time monitoring and control of powder feed rate, shielding gas flow, nozzle/lens temperature, and oxygen and humidity levels within the chamber. This allows for precise process control and high reproducibility, establishing the system as a dedicated research-grade solution.
It is an ideal system for fundamental research on additive processes, evaluation of metal material properties, and accumulation of experimental data based on process parameters.
