FAQ

Frequently asked questions

Do you have questions about our company, our products or our services? Then you've come to the right place.

The ProFocus WeldingCell offers significant advantages over conventional systems used in additive metal manufacturing and Laser-DED (Directed Energy Deposition). Key benefits include automated multi-directional manufacturing, high process stability, and precise control of complex component geometries. Integrated features such as automated part scanning, adaptive height control, HDR process monitoring, and the WireWatcher help reduce downtime and significantly improve manufacturing quality. This enables cost-efficient production, repeatable results, and reliable implementation of demanding applications such as repair welding, laser cladding, and additive manufacturing of metal components. The system is designed to increase productivity, improve process consistency, and support scalable industrial additive manufacturing workflows.

The ProFocus WeldingCell is designed for industrial applications in Laser-DED (Directed Energy Deposition), additive manufacturing of metal components, repair welding, and laser cladding.

Typical applications include wear protection, refurbishment of high-value components, and production of complex metal geometries. Equipped with an integrated 6-axis robot and advanced process control, the system enables flexible manufacturing of large-scale components while maintaining high process stability and precision.

This makes the ProFocus WeldingCell an ideal solution for industries requiring efficient, automated, and high-quality metal additive manufacturing processes.

Yes, the ProFocus WeldingCell can be fully customized to meet specific requirements in additive metal manufacturing and Laser-DED (Directed Energy Deposition). Thanks to its modular design, the system can be flexibly adapted to different applications, component geometries, and production environments.

Customization options include system geometry, workpiece handling, integration of specific robotics or scanner systems, and tailored software solutions for process control. This makes the ProFocus WeldingCell suitable for additive manufacturing of metal parts, laser cladding, and repair welding applications.

As a result, the system can be optimally configured to meet individual production requirements while ensuring high process reliability and efficiency.
