DMD Dynamic Material Deposition

New dimensions in Directed Energy Deposition

pE3D: fast, precise and flexible.

Using Ponticon's DMD Dynamic Material Deposition technology, alloys of almost any composition can be deposited on metallic and ceramic components. For the first time, the pE3D system enables this technology at an industrial scale without limitations regarding workpiece geometry. As a result, DMD is perceived as a game-changing manufacturing technology in both the public and scientific domain.

In additive manufacturing, coating and repair applications , the pE3D system excels in terms of the way it combines ultra-high process speed with highest precision – two things that have so far been incompatible in conventional DED processes.

The pontiMAT® Technology for agile alloy development dramatically reduces the effort involved in conventional sample melting and analysis methods.

Fast

Coating rates up to 1,000 cm²/min
Build-up rates up to 600 cm³/min

Precise

Filigree 3D structures with wall thicknesses down to 500 µm and roughness depths of approx. 10 µm

Flexible

Virtually unlimited combinations of alloys and elements
