Additive manufacturing opens up new possibilities for high complexity and individuality in the production of e.g. integral parts as well as similar light-weight components made from metallic high performance materials. The additive market is growing quickly. SAUER LASERTEC, a member of the DMG MORI SEIKI AG, integrates for the first time the additive manufacturing into a high-tech 5-axis milling machine, which combines the laser metal deposition process with milling in one machine.
