Prima Additive Direct Energy Deposition – Advanced Metal Additive Manufacturing for Industrial Applications
IMTS Machinery proudly brings Prima Additive’s Direct Energy Deposition (DED) technology to Australia and New Zealand. This cutting-edge additive manufacturing process enables the creation, repair, and coating of complex metal components with exceptional precision and efficiency.
What is Direct Energy Deposition (DED)?
DED is an advanced form of metal 3D printing that uses focused energy (typically laser-based) to melt metal powder or wire as it is deposited. The result is a highly controlled build process ideal for:
-
Repairing worn or damaged metal parts
-
Adding features to existing components
-
Building near-net-shape parts with minimal waste
-
Creating functionally graded materials and complex geometries
