ADDiTEC has launched the AMDROiD X Laser Directed Energy Deposition system to support manufacturers in defence, construction, energy and emergency response.
ADDiTEC believes the new solution will provide advantages in point-of-demand manufacturing and metal repair thanks to its portable modular design, self-sustaining gas supply and user-friendly software.
The AMDROiD X is a 10-foot container that is expandable to 169 square feet, with an integrated command centre for ‘streamlined operation in harsh conditions’, while a built-in nitrogen generator eliminates the need for external shielding gas in most applications. It is also equipped with 54 kWh of storage across four power walls, which are fully rechargeable through solar technology, and proprietary software tools that enable complex multi-axis geometries. The AMDROiD X also has an optional Ultra High Power 12 kW fibre laser and is able to process stainless steel, aluminium and copper materials.
Among the key specifications of the AMDROiD X are its 4kg/hr print speeds, 1.4 × 1.4 × 1.47 metre build volume, its layer thickness capacity of between 0.6 and 1.8 mm.
