Directed Energy Deposition

Directed energy deposition is a technological process in which the fed material is melted directly at the desired location using a laser beam.

InssTek MX600 - DED technology

The InssTek printer uses the so-called Powder-based DED method, where powder is injected into the laser-exposed area and is carried away by an inert gas.

  • 2kW fiber laser
  • 5-axis movement
  • Working press 450x600x350mm
  • SDM800 (beam diameter 800 µm, layer height 250 µm)
  • SDM1600 (1600 µm beam diameter, 600 µm layer height)
  • SDM2400 (beam diameter 2400 µm, layer height 900 µm)
  • Up to 4 materials at a time
  • 3-axis printing capability with preheating to 500°C with 150x150x150mm part size

InssTek MX-LAB – DED technology

Parameters
