Wire-based 3D Printer CoaxPrinter

The CoaxPrinter can be put into operation with different laser types in a short time. The optics and the way the wire is fed allow a large process window that permits tolerances in working distance and laser power and supports robust process control.

The processing of different wire materials and wire thicknesses, including cored wires, offers a high degree of flexibility in the application. Integrated process monitoring supports the documentation of the layers applied and contributes to reproducibility and process reliability.

The coaxial wire feed achieves almost 100% material utilization. In combination with high wire speeds of up to 5 m/min, this enables high application rates and economical operation. The targeted heat input also reduces component distortion and reduces the need for downstream processing steps.
