In the first part of our series, we gave a broad overview of hybrid manufacturing technology, but didn’t focus too much on the specific capabilities of various technologies. As we run down the larger manufacturers in the space, these details should begin to emerge. We will be mostly focused on industrial metal hybrid technologies, but will cover some polymer and low-cost systems in the next part in our series.

DMG Mori
One of the leading companies in the hybrid space is DMG Mori, a major German maker of CNC equipment. Its hybrid manufacturing technology is, so far, based on directed energy deposition (DED). DMG’s Lasertec 65 3D Hybrid, Lasertec 125 Hybrid and Lasertec 4300 3D Hybrid rely on laser metal deposition (LMD) within an inert gas shroud, rather than a completely inert chamber. Metal powder is blown under a 2,500- or 3,000-watt laser that melts the metal and […]
