Laser Powder Bed Fusion
Upscale 3d-printing with beam-shaping
Beam shaping is a key-enabler of the upscale of Laser Powder Bed Fusion (L-PBF) machines. First, it increases printing speed (x3.3), paving the way for mass production. Second, the possibility of printing new powders by removing hot-cracking and increasing the density, which increases the machine flexibility.
Automated Fiber Placement
Managing complex geometry with compact solution
By using beam shaping we are able to achieve high-quality automated fiber placement (AFP) with a porosity reduced (-40%) compared to gaussian beam. We are also able to manufacture components with very complex geometry by designing more compact (x2) solution.
CANUNDA-DED
Compact architecture. High-power capability. Flexible integration
CANUNDA‑DED is a compact coaxial wire deposition head designed for high‑performance Direct Energy Deposition. Its beam‑shaping technology ensures stable, direction‑independent processing, while enabling high laser power operation (up to 12 kW) for scalable, industrial‑grade deposition.
Other Laser Additive Manufacturing
Developing new additive manufacturing methods
There are many applications for additive manufacturing using lasers. However, most of them are still recent processes and have many shortcomings (cracking, porosity, manufacturing time, precision, etc.). Beam shaping makes it possible to reduce these defects by optimising the energy distribution.
