EUROBEARINGS MEANS
LASER CLADDING & LARGE-SCALE METAL 3D PRINTING: THE NEW FRONTIER OF METAL DEPOSITION.
Eurobearings is at the forefront of industrial innovation, implementing Wire Laser Metal Deposition (LMD), a highly cost-effective and precise technology for large-scale metal 3D printing.
The Technology: Directed Energy Deposition (DED)
Our LMD process belongs to the Directed Energy Deposition (DED) family. It operates by precisely stacking layers of weld beads into a laser-generated melt pool. This method ensures superior structural integrity and a metallurgical bond that far exceeds traditional thermal sprays.
Innovative Babbitt Applications
We have successfully extended this process technology to Babbitt material (White Metal). This allows for unprecedented precision in bearing manufacturing and repair, ensuring a perfectly uniform and defect-free layer
Dual-Focus Manufacturing
- Laser Cladding (Coating): Applying a high-performance protective layer to enhance surface properties, such as wear and corrosion resistance, without affecting the base material's core
- Additive Manufacturing (3D Printing): Building complex, large-scale metal components layer-by-layer, drastically reducing material waste and lead times
Why Eurobearings LMD?
- Safe & Reliable: Controlled process for consistent metallurgical quality
- Integration Ready: Seamlessly fits into modern industrial workflows
- Cost-Efficient & Accessible: Reduced material waste compared to powder-based systems or traditional machining
