3D printer manufacturer ADDiTEC announces the launch of a Laser Directed Energy Deposition (LDED) self-contained turnkey solution designed for the production nand repair of large-scale metal parts.
Named AMDROiD X, the 3D printer with a robotic architecture completes a portfolio that includes Xerox liquid metal technology as well as the recently launched Hybrid Series.
The new machine is designed for rapid deployment in any austere terrain or in a maritime environment. Equipped with a powerful 12kW fiber laser, it can process materials such as stainless steel, aluminum, and copper with high deposition rates.
The compact 10-Foot Modular Container Expandable is portable and its 4 power walls provide 54 kwh of reliable, usable energy that can be recharged by its solar roof.
Key other technical specifications of the machine include:
| Maximum laser power | 12 kW |
| Laser type | Fiber laser |
| Laser wavelength | 1080 nm |
| Layer thickness | 0,6 – 1,8 mm |
| Maximum deposition rate | 4 kg.hour material and feature dependent |
| Build volume | 1.4 m x 1.4 m x 1.47 m (WxDxH) |
| Wire feedstock | 0.8 – 1.2 mm Φ |
| Processable materials | Iron, nickel, copper, and aluminum alloys |
| Shielding | Localized (Argon or Nitrogen)
|
| Cooling | Active water cooling |
| Process control | Melt pool temperature (Pyrometer) based closed loop laser power modulation along with wire feeder control |
