TrendSCOPE 3D printing/additive manufacturing: Manufacturer, reports, information at INDUSTRIAL Production

Metal components from the 3D printer

In the future, metallic components will not only be turned, milled or laser-cut, but also printed. DMG Mori has already been successful in additive manufacturing since 2013 with laser deposition welding using a powder nozzle. By integrating the Realizer products, the company is opening up access to selective laser melting (SLM) and positioning itself as a global full-liner for the additive manufacturing of metal components.
