THE FUTURE OF MANUFACTURING

ADDere Additive Engines

ADDere has engines that can power your additive manufacturing needs

Along with the complete ADDere laser-wire systems, we also provide additive engines. The ADDere Additive Engines can be retrofitted onto an existing robot system or on an entirely new robot system. We currently have drivers that are compatible with ABB, KUKA and FANUC robot systems with more in the works. The ADDere Engines include the robot end effector module, the hot wire delivery system and the ADDere Software.

* 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.

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.
