DMG Mori unveils LaserTec 65 DED Hybrid 2

DMG Mori has introduced the LaserTec 65 DED hybrid 2, a second-generation production centre combining additive manufacturing and subtractive machining in a single set up.

Unveiled earlier this year during the company’s open house at its Pfronten factory in southern Germany, the machine integrates laser deposition welding, or directed energy deposition (DED), with full five-axis prismatic metal cutting and measuring.

The multi-tasking platform is designed to manufacture complex metal components efficiently, repair worn parts and apply extremely hard protective coatings. By reducing multiple operations into one process, the system aims to improve productivity, precision and overall cost effectiveness while enhancing manufacturing flexibility.
