Mazak's 5-axis, multi-tasking machine equipped with laser metal deposition technology
In recent years, additive manufacturing (AM) has been rapidly evolving as a new manufacturing technology. Mazak can offer a lineup of hybrid machines that incorporate additive manufacturing with multi-axis / 5-axis machining centres. These machines can make it possible to join expensive materials, process AM of complex shapes, apply metal coating, and repair chipped or worn metal parts.
Laser metal deposition
Gantry type AM head
Application Examples
