ADDere Additive Manufacturing

Midwest Engineered Systems Inc.

ADDere is designed to manufacture large-scale industrial parts in some of the most challenging metal-based materials.

ADDere at its heart is a 3D laser-wire additive manufacturing (LWAM) process for printing large-scale components. ADDere uses a high-powered Directed Energy Deposition (DED) laser to heat the wire as it is fed into the melt pool while a hot wire delivery system is used to pre-heat the incoming metal wire. This process is essentially a form of automated build-up welding. With this combination, ADDere achieves best-in-class metal layer deposition with virtually no impurities. 

ADDere’s systems and engines typically use a 6-axis industrial robot with multiple external axes as its motion system. Using industrial robotics for motion control allows for a much finer position as well as the opportunity to deposit materials in much more flexible ways than traditional Cartesian gantry systems in the market.

The robust, closed-loop deposition sensor package maintains quality and precision at much higher levels. It further opens the ADDere LWAM system to even more metal 3D printing techniques due to the fine-grain control of the purpose-built control system.
