Industrial Laser Metal Deposition (LMD) & DED Additive Manufacturing System

Presentation of the equipment's characteristics

The G Metal+® Industrial Laser Cladding & Metal DED 3D Printing System is equipped with a high-performance multi-axis motion platform supporting expandable 4-axis and 5-axis configurations. The system integrates an independently developed automatic powder feeder, laser processing head, precision nozzle system, CNC motion control system, industrial water chiller and fiber laser source to provide stable and efficient industrial metal additive manufacturing capability.

Equipment Features
  • High-precision linear motion modules ensure excellent positioning accuracy, stable dynamic performance and reliable long-term operation.
  • The laser head and motion axis are positioned above the working platform, reducing load variation and minimizing powder and dust interference during processing.
  • Large working area supports repair and additive manufacturing of oversized industrial components and can be integrated with rotary tables or custom positioners.
  • Motion control system, laser source and powder feeder are centrally managed through an intelligent integrated control platform for higher automation efficiency.
  • Advanced PC-based CNC control system provides a more intuitive and user-friendly operating experience compared with conventional machine tool interfaces.
  • Industrial fieldbus communication architecture ensures high system integration, stable data transmission and low equipment failure rates.
  • Optional auxiliary systems such as coaxial visual monitoring, real-time melt pool observation and induction preheating can be integrated according to application requirements.
Application Cases

The G Metal+® Industrial Laser Cladding & Metal DED 3D Printing System adopts a high-precision multi-axis motion architecture combined with rotary positioning systems to support laser cladding repair, metal additive manufacturing and near-net-shape forming applications.

The system is widely used for high-value industrial components requiring strict control of oxidation, metallurgical bonding quality and dimensional precision, including oil & gas drilling tools, molds, mining equipment, power industry components, metallurgical parts and heavy industrial machinery.

It is also suitable for metal direct energy deposition (DED) 3D printing, functional gradient material manufacturing, surface strengthening and remanufacturing repair of large metal parts, helping manufacturers reduce production costs, extend component service life and improve equipment reliability.
