Dear Industry Expert,
Productivity is not enough on its own – the quality of the coatings needs to be right too. But what about crack formation and durability? The use of high-speed laser material deposition achieves improved adhesion through the firmly bonded connection. |

A high-speed process to protect against corrosion and wear
How can the protective layer be applied to the brake disk more quickly and more effectively? And how can it be made to stay on for longer? The solution is intelligent coatings, as can be applied to brake disks using AM coating system. Compared with the conventional LMD process, powder particles travel a longer distance before they are applied during high-speed laser material deposition. This means that they absorb more energy and already melt in the laser beam, which enables a significantly faster coating speed.

Simulate the entire machining process with the click of a button
N2Check precisely simulates the CNC machine and the entire process of machining. By verifying the NC code through NC2Check, users have an NC code-based virtual machine simulation of all movements. NC2Check helps users detect errors that lead to machine downtime, damage to the workpiece, or even expensive collisions on CNC machines before the real machining even begins.

TRUMPF enables additive manufacturing with new metals
For the automotive industry, the CustAlloy aluminum alloy from ECKA Granules is particularly beneficial. With standard aluminum, automotive manufacturers have reached their limits, especially when it comes to the combination of strength and elongation. This is where CustAlloy helps. This aluminum alloy has very good mechanical properties; it does not break or crack as quickly. This makes crash-relevant applications possible. More...
