Laser Cusing

The LaserCusing® process is a patented three-dimensional laser melting process from Concept Laser GmbH. The word is made up of Concet Laser + Fusing. This technology uses 3D CAD data to create three-dimensional objects such as components.

A thin layer (around 20 to 60 µm) of the selected metal material is applied in powder form to a work surface layer by layer. Using a laser, which is directed via a mirror unit, the geometry of the component previously defined on the computer is melted, layer by layer, until the object is finished. The excess powder is reused for further processes.

This, and the low emission values of the laser, make LaserCusing® a green technology. Complex structured components can be produced without tools. Even internal hollow or grid structures are no problem for the process.

The special feature of the patented process is the reduction of stresses and the production of low-distortion, dense components.

To prevent contamination of the material, which would impair the result, LaserCusing® takes place in a protective gas atmosphere with argon or nitrogen.

The LaserCusing® process is based on the same principle as the laser melting process. However, behind the brand name LaserCusing® lies the feature of stochastic control of the slice elements. This special feature reduces stresses and subsequent cracking during the production of large components. Workpieces produced using this technology are of interest to various industries, from automotive manufacturing to dental prostheses.
