Wire laser additive manufacturing (WLAM) and laser wire DED for industrial applications in mining, energy, tooling, steel and recycling

Discover a better way to manufacture, repair and
maintain metal components

Why industry is embracing WLAM

100% material utilisation: No waste compared to 10-20% loss in powder processes.
Faster processing: Higher deposition rates reduce production times.
Safe and clean: No harmful dust, simplifying handling and storage.
Ever-growing material versatility: Wide range of standardised wire materials readily available.
Minimal base material impact: Precise energy control prevents unwanted material changes.
Superior surface quality: High-quality finish significantly reduces post-processing.

What customers love about the ProFocus system

Industry-leading precision: Our advanced control technology delivers unmatched accuracy, minimal material waste and consistently high-quality outcomes.
Effortless integration: Seamlessly integrate ProFocus systems into your existing production lines with minimal setup and maximum compatibility.
Proven return on investment: ProFocus systems consistently demonstrate measurable cost savings through reduced waste and enhanced operational efficiency.
Instant switch between LMD-powder to -wire: Customers love the flexibility of a Laser Metal Deposition (LMD) system that allows you to run both wire and powder processes with a single laser head. Even better, the switch takes less than 10 seconds.
Intuitive handling: Complex processes made easy, thanks to our user-friendly human-machine interface (HMI).
Premium customer service: Our experts offer seamless support, from feasibility study to production.

„Wire laser additive manufacturing is a game-changer for industries prioritising precision, cost-efficiency and occupational safety. ProFocus gives you the control and flexibility you need to stay competitive.“

Our technologies

Wire LMD

WIRE LMD (Laser Metal Deposition with wire) is the safest and cleanest laser welding technology. This method stands for precision and efficiency, especially for repair welding and 3D printing of large metal components. The advantages include low porosity, high material efficiency and safe handling.

Powder LMD

Powder LMD (Laser Metal Deposition with powder) is one of the most common additive manufacturing techniques with a wide range of applications and materials. This method offers high precision and flexibility for repair welding, laser coating and the production of new parts.

Arc welding

Arc welding is a welding process in which an electric arc between an electrode and the workpiece generates heat to melt and join metals. This method is widely used due to its versatility, efficiency and strong joints.
