Fraunhofer IPK in Berlin has commissioned a ProFocus LaserCell from OSCAR-PLT – marking a milestone for robot-guided wire laser deposition. The fully digital process chain, from 3D scanning to AI-controlled welding, enables efficient, resource-saving repair of metal components across industries. Discover how this partnership sets new standards for sustainable, high-precision manufacturing in Europe and beyond.

From 26 to 28 August 2025, OSCAR-PLT will take part in the Nordic Laser Material Processing Conference (NOLAMP) for the first time. With a practice-oriented presentation on the additive repair of cast iron components, we aim to inspire Scandinavia to rethink 3D repair – and to spread the message that repair welding is a true game changer for industrial maintenance.

The complete integration of component scanning, CAD/CAM, and path planning into our proven ProFocus system opens up entirely new possibilities. Together with our partner S.K.M. Informatik, we have created a unique digital process chain that allows customers to make additive manufacturing and repair with wire and powder even more efficient. As always, quality, reliability, and cost-effectiveness are our top priorities. 👉 Learn more here.

FormNext 2024 has confirmed it: Laser metal deposition with wire (LMD-w) is rapidly gaining in importance in the industry. Why are more and more companies relying on this technology? Maximum efficiency, high material utilisation and versatile application options make it a key technology for additive manufacturing, 3D repair and laser cladding. Find out why LMD-w is on the rise in 2025 in our latest blog post. 👉 Read now!

2024 was a decisive year for additive manufacturing and also for OSCAR-PLT. We have celebrated many highlights over the past twelve months, and here we present our top 5 of the year - with a big thank you to all our customers, partners and team members.

New possibilities in sight! OSCAR-PLT has recently become a member of the network for 3D printing in the maritime industry (MN3D). Companies in the shipbuilding industry can also benefit from new technological and economic opportunities, such as the 3D repair of high-quality components.

Check out this new video from our partner Welding Alloys, which shows the unrivalled advantages of the ProFocus system in combination with the cobalt-based welding wire STELLOY 21-LD.

With ProFocus technology, companies are already saving several 100,000 euros per year thanks to new economic and technological possibilities, even with difficult geometries and materials.

Supersize repair welding: Components weighing several tonnes can be repaired quickly and cost-effectively, thanks to the robot-guided positioning of the ProFocus laser head.
