Additive Manufacturing
Repair. Cladding. Joining.
Many talk about additive manufacturing. We bring its advantages into real-world applications for you. With metal 3D printing, repair, coating, as well as cladding and joining technologies, we help companies manufacture components cost-effectively, automate repairs, and extend service life. We don’t think solely in of machines—we think in solutions: What works? What reduces costs? What lasts? As part of the Kjellberg Group, we transform years of experience into tangible customer value. For over 10 years—from feasibility to successful implementation.
Efficient. Sustainable. Cost-effective.

The proven metal 3D printing system that started it all. A versatile technology that enables unmanned, direction-independent welding - with both wire and powder LMD (Laser Metal Deposition).
This compact version of our pioneering laser head weighs just 6 kilograms and still brings all the advantages of the ProFocus technology, enabling new applications and geometries.
The compact version of our laser cell for production environments with small to medium-sized components. It combines the quality and efficiency of the ProFocus laser cell with a particularly compact footprint and easy transportability.
Our technologies
Laser-DED
Laser-DED (Direct Energy Deposition) with wire and powder is a safe and clean laser welding technology. This method stands for precision and efficiency, particularly in repair welding, cladding, and the 3D printing of complex metal components. Its advantages include low porosity, high material efficiency, and safe handling.
TIG-DED
TIG-DED (Tungsten Inert Gas - Directed Energy Deposition) refers to a TIG-based additive welding process. OSCAR applies this technology using three preheated wires that are fed simultaneously. The result is a direction-independent additive process with deposition rates that significantly outperform conventional WAAM and laser-based systems. At the same time, heat input remains low, minimizing dilution and reducing cooling times. The process is ideally suited for high-productivity cladding and repair applications where efficiency, process stability, and reproducibility are essential.
High-Performance TIG Welding
Arc welding is a process in which an electric arc between an electrode and the workpiece generates heat to melt and join metals. High-performance TIG welding takes this further: by maximizing cathode cooling, the arc is highly constricted, enabling optimal process stability and joint properties. This method stands out for its versatility, efficiency, and strong, high-quality welds.
