Home-DMG MORI launches LASERTEC 65 DED hybrid 2 for additive and subtractive metal manufacturing
DMG MORI UK, the British division of machine tool manufacturerDMG MORI, has introduced the LASERTEC 65 DED hybrid 2, a second-generation production centre combining directed energy deposition (DED) with 5-axis machining and measurement in a single setup.
Launched earlier this year at the company’s open house in Pfronten, southern Germany, the system is designed for producing complex metal components, repairing worn parts, and applying hard material coatings to workpieces. The machine integrates additive manufacturing with milling, drilling, turning, grinding, pre-heating, and 3D scanning.
Hybrid DED machining for complex metal parts
The LASERTEC 65 DED hybrid 2 builds on DMG MORI’smonoBLOCKmachine platform and is intended to support industrial metal additive manufacturing workflows where deposited material must be machined to final tolerances.
According to the company, the system’s latest MultiJet nozzle enables 5-axis material deposition with homogeneous powder distribution, regardless of powder flow orientation. DMG MORI says the machine increases build rate by 35% compared with the previous generation, while offering a build volume that is 170% larger.
The working area can accommodate parts up to 840 mm in diameter by 350 mm tall, or 680 mm in diameter by 400 mm tall. Axis positioning accuracy is listed at 4 microns, supported by VCS Complete, a calibration technology cycle app that covers the full working volume.
The system runs within DMG MORI’sCELOS Xcontrol environment, which is integrated with theSiemensSINUMERIK ONEcontrol.
Blue laser option expands material range
Alongside infrared laser technology, the LASERTEC 65 DED hybrid 2 can be equipped with a higher-frequency blue laser source. This option is intended to process reflective metals and enable graded transitions between different materials.
