Laser Additive Manufacturing by KUKA - modular laser process technology

Laser metal deposition with the aid of powder-based or wire-shaped filler materials can be used for repair work, the application of wear and corrosion protection, and the production of 3D components (additive manufacturing). Discover the hybrid additive manufacturing solution from KUKA. The goal of the ProLMD project is the industrial implementation of hybrid manufacturing processes using laser technology. A KUKA robot builds up new structures layer by layer on a conventionally manufactured base component. Thanks to the use of a fiber-guided system, the robot remains virtually unrestricted in its workspace. This makes it possible to respond flexibly to component geometry and size – even in the case of small batch sizes. Learn more about laser welding: Find out more about laser metal deposition:
