Industrial Applications of Additive Manufacturing in Hybrid Production

On the LASERTEC 65 DED hybrid from DMG MORI, Henry Köhler, co‑founder of DED Services GmbH, demonstrates how innovative DED technology is transforming industry. From localized wear protection to complex high‑temperature applications – even rocket nozzles are now being produced using 3D metal printing. DED Services enables companies to deploy this advanced manufacturing technology profitably, realizing applications ranging from agriculture to aerospace. A particular focus is placed on multi‑material solutions that combine wear resistance with optimal thermal conductivity, opening up entirely new possibilities in component design. The hybrid combination of additive and subtractive manufacturing within a single machine ensures maximum efficiency, significantly shortened process chains, and substantial material savings – while simultaneously increasing component service life.

For Henry Köhler, one thing is clear: DED hybrid technology is more than just progress – it represents a groundbreaking evolutionary step and a key technology for the demands of modern manufacturing.
