DED Services
Your competent partner for Directed Energy Deposition: Laser powder based cladding – from simple coating to complex 3D structure, including finishing!
We support you from the initial classification phase, e.g. whether and where the technology can be technically meaningful and commercially successful for your specific context, through the planning of a processing strategy and embedding in your application, to production technology qualification and implementation on our or your systems!
In addition to our own capacities, we have direct access to a highly specialized network of suppliers of upstream and downstream process steps, as well as partners with whom we can solve and advise on special requirements – feel free to contact us with your individual challenges!

- Further treatment, e.g. by shot peening, deep/flat rolling
Powder based laser cladding is referred to in the latest standards as LP-DED, which stands for Laser Powder Directed Energy Deposition. The process differs from other DED processes, such as laser-based wire processes, powder- or wire-based arc processes and powder bed 3D printing, in that it has a number of unique features and advantages.
