In times of ever shorter product life cycles and increasingly more complex and more individualised bespoke components, additive manufacturing processes can help companies to manufacture produce new and innovative products more quickly. Additive manufacturing processes enable complex geometries and workpieces to be produced. The unique technology combination of laser metal deposition by means of a powder nozzle and milling gives the user completely new application and geometry options. With the LASERTEC 65 AdditiveManufacturing, SAUER LASERTEC now offers a hybrid solution for combined laser deposition welding and 5-axis milling. This method uses a deposition process by means of a powder nozzle, which is up to 20 times faster than generation in a powder bed.
The market for additive processes has grown rapidly in the past. However, up to now, these have been restricted to the production of prototypes and small parts, which otherwise could not have been manufactured using any other conventional method. With the combination of the two processes, metal deposition and chip removal, on one machine, additive technology supplements and enhances traditional machining methods.
For generative manufacturing, the LASERTEC 65 AdditiveManufacturing is equipped with a 2 kW diode laser for laser deposition welding, while the fully fledged 5-axis milling machine from DECKEL MAHO in robust monoBLOCK® design also enables highly accurate milling operations to be carried out. “Thanks to the fully automatic changeover between milling and laser operation, the LASERTEC 65 AdditiveManufacturing is suitable for the complete machining of complex components with undercuts as well as for repair work. It is also ideal for the application of partial or complete coatings for mould making and mechanical engineering or even medical engineering”, explains Friedemann Lell, Sales Director, SAUER LASERTEC, in Pfronten.
Producing large parts generatively
In contrast to laser melting in a powder bed, laser deposition welding enables large parts to be manufactured using a metal powder nozzle. With a deposition rate of up to 3.5 kg/h, this process is up to 20 times faster than the laser generation of parts in a powder bed. The combination with milling opens up completely new applications. The component can be built up in several steps, whereby milling can be interspersed with deposition welding in order to allow areas, which the cutter would no longer be able to reach when the component was finished due to the component geometry, to be machined to final accuracy.
The hybrid machine combines the advantages of milling, such as high precision and surface quality, with the flexibility and high deposition rate of laser welding. “In the case of some components, where today 95 % of the material is removed by milling, with additive processes, material is only built up where it is needed. As result, material loss is reduced to 5 %. This leads to significant raw material and cost savings”, explains Friedemann Lell.
The laser, complete with powder deposition head, is fitted into the HSK toolholder of the milling spindle. It can be automatically parked in a secure docking station while milling operations are being carried out on the machine.

The machine is controlled by means of a 19” ERGOline® with Operate 4.5 on SIEMENS 840D solutionline. The controller for the laser process is mounted in a separate electrical cabinet, which makes it easier to integrate this system into other DMG MORI machines.
Production of 3D contours
By means of a laser diode, the metal powder is deposited in layers onto a base material, and fuses with it without pores or cracks. In doing so, the metal powder forms a high-strength welded bond with the surface. A coaxial inert gas prevents oxidation during the build-up process. After cooling, a layer of metal which can be mechanically machined is produced.
As laser deposition welding has long been established as a stand-alone technology, it is ideal for incorporating into DMG MORI’s high-quality CNC machines. “The combination of chip-removal and additive processes will become more important in future, as it opens up many new options and advantages for the user”, says Lell.
One strength of this process is the option to successively build up layers of different materials. Wall thicknesses of 0.1 mm to 5 mm are possible depending on the laser and the nozzle geometry.
Complex 3D contours can also be generated in layers without supports.
The individual layers can then be accurately machined before the areas become inaccessible to a cutter or other tools due to the component geometry. The combination of the two processes is a sensible choice for repair work and the production of mould tools. However, it also offers many interesting options for lightweight components, prototypes or small batches production – particularly in the large-part manufacturing sector where other additive manufacturing processes cannot be used due to limited space.
Economical solution
Large machines, such as those used for machining bulky components in the energy or aerospace industries, tend to be expensive. If roughing, deposition and finishing are reduced to a single machine, this represents a financially advantageous solution for the customer.
Furthermore, in the energy and oil industry, components often have to be coated with corrosion-resistant alloys to protect against wear. Deposition welding provides protection for products such as tubes, fittings, flanges and special products which are used in aggressive environments. With a hybrid machine, machining of the base material, coating and finishing can be carried out on one machine. This results in cost savings and a reduction in throughput times.

The unique technology combination of laser deposition welding by means of powder nozzle and milling on the LASERTEC 65 3D is an innovative, generative manufacturing process which enables complex geometries and individualised components to be produced faster. In particular, large components up to 500 mm diameter can be manufactured quickly and efficiently with this hybrid solution. Flexible switching between laser machining and milling also enables component segments which are no longer accessible on the finished part to be machined directly.
LASERTEC 65 3D: Generative manufacturing in finished-part quality
This method uses a deposition process by means of a powder nozzle, which is up to 10 times faster than generation in a powder bed. Troublesome supporting geometries are unnecessary thanks to 5-axis deposition. DMG MORI provides the complete process chain, starting with NC programming in hybrid CAD/CAM and technology parameters from a material database to the actual machining of the component, process monitoring and documentation.This innovative process from SAUER GmbH is increasingly finding its way into industrial manufacturing. Even today, components such as a cutter for processing sheet metal in automobile production, for example, can be produced quickly, cost-effectively and in outstanding quality on the LASERTEC 65 3D. In comparison, conventional casting technology is very time-intensive. Furthermore, changes to the component geometry during the process are difficult to accommodate.
Additive Manufacturing of a cutting tool for sheet metals in the automotive industry on a LASERTEC 65 3D
In order to build up the cutter, 3D CAD data are transferred to Siemens NX and all additive and conventional machining strategies are programmed. A 3D simulation is also displayed to check for collisions taken into account the integral laser head. The complete machining program is then transmitted to the machine and the manufacturing process can be started immediately.
The cutter is built up on a base plate using laser deposition welding and then milled. In this case, two different materials are built up in one process. One for the main volume and a second, hard material for the cutting edge (for example HSS 63 HRC). The cutting edge is then processed conventionally or machined using the optional ULTRASONIC technology. This innovative method reduces the manufacturing process from 60 to 3 days.
A further advantage is that the same tools can be maintained on the same machine without long set-up times and the programmed component built up several times without major effort.
As a result, the LASERTEC 65 3D offers a unique selling point in additive manufacturing.
