Multitasking machine features multilaser deposition technology

Mazak has introduced the Integrex i-200S AM (additive manufacturing), a new hybrid multitasking machine technology with a multilaser deposition system, enabling both additive and subtractive capabilities.
It performs turning, milling, and drilling, as well as additive manufacturing and laser marking in a single setup.
In addition to its two turning spindles and milling turret, the machine has dual laser cladding heads/additive manufacturing nozzles that provide options for both high and fine rates of metal deposition. Essentially, the two cladding heads complement each other much like roughing and finishing tools work together in common chip-making operations. The cladding heads reside in the tool magazine and are loaded into the milling turret as needed.
A fibre laser melts the metal powder to grow near-net-shape 3-D forms. The cladding heads apply the molten material layer by layer, each of which solidifies as the desired part surface or features grow. Once the part features are grown to near net shapes, the machine then applies one or more of its advanced subtractive operations, including 5-axis milling, turning, hobbing, and contouring.
