Add and Subtract All in One 3D Laser-Deposition Welding Combines with Milling
DMG Mori, with U.S. headquarters in Hoffman Estates, IL, has integrated AM with a high-tech five- axis milling machine to create the LaserTec 65 3D, combining the flexibility of the laser-metal-depo- sition process with precision cutting to offer supe-
rior finish, according to company officials. Metal deposition is via powder nozzle, reportedly as much as 10 times faster than part generation in a powder bed.
The process combo makes possible new appli- cations and geometries, especially for large work- pieces with high stock-removal volumes, as the flexible, fully automated switch between laser and milling operations allows direct milling and machining of sections not reachable with the finished part.
The Lasertec 65 3D, with a footprint of 130 sq.
ft., includes a full five-axis milling machine from Deckel Maho in a stable monoBlock design, with the integration of a laser head and interface from HSK. The setup allows for workpieces to 23.6-in. dia. and 15.7 in. high, and weighing to 1322.8 lb.

EXPERIENCE AND TECH TOUR August 18-19, 2016 | Livonia, MI
Metals is the fastest growing segment of 3D printing, expected to nearly double in size by 2018. Now’s the time to align with the only publication specifically dedicated to the industry—3D Metal Printing magazine, and be a part of the inaugural 3D Metal Printing Experience and Tech Tour.
3D Metal Printing Experience and Tech Tour attendees will be able to interact directly with industry experts, learn about the latest technology developments for 3D metal printing and hear case-study presentations on 3D metal printing. They’ll also participate in exclusive plant tours to view 3D metal-printing machines in action and engage with company representatives.
Keynote speakers
• Todd Grimm, President, T. A. Grimm & Associates—Industry overview and insights
• Adam Rivard, Additive Manufacturing Specialist, LAI Intl.—Designing for metal additive manufacturing
• Amy Elliott, Manufacturing Systems Research, Oak Ridge National Laboratory—Technology developments and the future of metal
additive manufacturing
