What is ADDere
How ADDere's Laser-wire Additive Manufacturing process works
At its heart ADDere is a laser-wire additive manufacturing (LWAM) process for 3D printing near net shape, large-scale metal components. ADDere uses a high-powered Directed Energy Deposition (DED) laser to heat the wire as it is fed into the melt pool while a hot wire delivery system is used to pre-heat the incoming metal wire. This process is essentially a form of automated build-up welding. With this combination, ADDere achieves best-in-class metal layer deposition with virtually no impurities and a part density greater than 99.99%.
What makes up an ADDere System
ADDere’s systems use a 6 to 9-axis robotic motion control system. Additionally, the robust, closed-loop deposition sensor package maintains quality and precision at much higher levels. It further opens the ADDere LWAM system to even more metal 3D printing techniques due to the fine-grain control of the purpose-built control system.
