Laser Cladding and Additive Manufacturing

We have over 20 years experience in the field of laser cladding technology and laser nozzle development specifically for wear, corrosion and remanufacturing applications. We have successfully transferred our technology into volume production for many industrial customers throughout North America...

Fraunhofer has pioneered the development of state of the art innovative processing heads which enable laser cladding to be carried out inside tubes, pipes and other hard to reach places. Our ID head features our latest innovative design concepts and features internal water cooling and powder delivery...

Fraunhofer has pioneered the combination of its induction heating technology with the laser cladding process for optimum process performance. Our patented induction assisted cladding technology enables significant improvements in deposition rates and enables improved deposition quality for crack sensitive materials.

Fraunhofer is one of the pioneers in the growing field of additive manufacturing. Our process expertise includes the developement of a range of state of the art powder delivery nozzles which enable precise placement of the metallic powder material relative to the laser beam focus.

Fraunhofer has developed a novel approach for Micro LAM which deploys several low power beams simultaneously, each precisely controllable with a minimum heat input thus providing the capability to tailor the applied energy to the specific needs of the application.
