ADDere Additive Engines
ADDere has engines that can power your additive manufacturing needs
Scanner / Side Wire
| Laser Power (max) | 20kW Laser |
| Wire Size | 0.6-1.6mm (.023-.063) |
| Hot Wire Compliant | yes |
| Minimum Single Bead Thickness | 4mm |
| Maximum Single Bead Thickness | 20mm |
| Maximum Deposition Rate | 30lb/hr* |
| Water Cooled | yes |
| Vary Bead Thickness on the Fly | yes |
| Camera Process Monitoring (optional) | yes |
| Melt Pool Monitoring (optional) | yes |
| Closed Loop Control (optional) | yes |
* The deposition rate depends on laser power, hot wire, material type and print geometry.
ADDere’s High Power Coaxial uses a Laser Mech FiberWELD HR robot head with direct-cooled reflective optics that will minimize focus shift. It’s engineered for high-duty cycle production applications with medium to high-power, fiber-delivered lasers. The head’s advanced optical design permits wire to be fed directly into the beam path – right into the center of the melt pool. This allows the laser or cladding process to have total directional independence.
High Power Coaxial
| Laser Power (max) | 30kW Laser |
| Wire Size | 0.6-1.6mm (.023-.063) |
| Hot Wire Compliant | yes |
| Minimum Single Bead Thickness | <2mm |
| Maximum Single Bead Thickness | 15mm |
| Maximum Deposition Rate | 35lb/hr* |
| Water Cooled | yes |
| Vary Bead Thickness on the Fly | yes** |
| Camera Process Monitoring (optional) | yes |
| Melt Pool Monitoring (optional) | yes |
| Closed Loop Control (optional) | yes |
* The deposition rate depends on laser power, hot wire, material type and print geometry.
** Fixed laser spot, bead thickness variability limited.
ADDere’s High Power Coaxial uses a Laser Mech FiberWELD DH robot head with direct-cooled reflective optics that will minimize focus shift. It’s engineered for high-duty cycle production applications with medium to high-power, fiber-delivered lasers. The head’s advanced optical design permits wire to be fed directly into the beam path – right into the center of the melt pool. This allows the laser or cladding process to have total directional independence.
8kW Power Coaxial
| Laser Power (max) | 8kW Laser |
| Wire Size | 0.6-1.6mm (.023-.063) |
| Hot Wire Compliant | yes |
| Minimum Single Bead Thickness | <1mm |
| Maximum Single Bead Thickness | 15mm |
| Maximum Deposition Rate | 12lb/hr* |
| Water Cooled | yes |
| Vary Bead Thickness on the Fly | yes** |
| Camera Process Monitoring (optional) | yes |
| Melt Pool Monitoring (optional) | yes |
| Closed Loop Control (optional) | yes |
* The deposition rate depends on laser power, hot wire, material type and print geometry.
** Fixed laser spot, bead thickness variability limited.
ADDere’s Low Power Coaxial uses a Laser Mech FiberWELD DHc. This robot head is a compact material deposition head that is engineered for high-duty cycle production applications with low to high-power, fiber-delivered lasers. The head’s advanced optical design permits wire to be fed directly into the beam path – coaxially to the beam and right into the center of the melt pool. This allows the additive or cladding process to have total directional independence.
4kW Power Coaxial
| Laser Power (max) | 4kW Laser |
| Wire Size | 0.6-1.6mm (.023-.063) |
| Hot Wire Compliant | yes |
| Minimum Single Bead Thickness | <1mm |
| Maximum Single Bead Thickness | 15mm |
| Maximum Deposition Rate | 6lb/hr* |
| Water Cooled | yes |
| Vary Bead Thickness on the Fly | yes** |
| Camera Process Monitoring (optional) | yes |
| Melt Pool Monitoring (optional) | yes |
| Closed Loop Control (optional) | yes |
