3DMD Dynamic Material Deposition
New dimensions in Directed Energy Deposition
3DMD: fast, precise and flexible.
Ponticon's 3DMD process (Dynamic Material Deposition) enables additive manufacturing, coating and repair of complex metallic components at unprecedented productivity, precision and flexibility.
We offer tailored manufacturing systems based on our profound know-how in the field of high-speed laser cladding and mechanical engineering.
Our solutions convince with high productivity and precision - a contradiction that could not be resolved with conventional AM and coating processes so far. Unprecedented material flexibility enables applications in numerous industries.
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

Users of 3DMD technology
"With the pE3D system from ponticon, we are able to use the Extreme High Speed Laser Cladding EHLA process developed and patented at the Fraunhofer ILT for coating, repair and additive manufacturing of three-dimensional components for the first time."
DR. THOMAS SCHOPPHOVEN
Fraunhofer Institute for Laser Technology ILT, Aachen, Head of Business Unit LMD
"Agile, digital materials research is the basis for innovations in countless industries. Ponticon's 3DMD technology and pE3D system will help us to significantly advance and shape the topic of Rapid Alloy Development (RAD) in the future."
PROF. DR. JOHANNES HENRICH SCHLEIFENBAUM
RWTH Aachen University Digital Additive Production DAP, Head of Institute
"We consider 3DMD to be an ideal process for the Application Center for Additive Manufacturing at the TU Kaiserslautern. Together with ponticon, we enable regional SMEs to access a highly innovative manufacturing technology that ultimately serves to create unique selling points in global markets."
PROF. DR. JAN AURICH
TU Kaiserslautern Institute for Manufacturing Technology and Production Systems, Head of Institute
"The Ponticon system, which is coupled to a machining center via two industrial robots, is used in our circular factory as an inspection and remanufacturing cell for reconditioning used components. In order to make the best possible use of the flexibility of the system, it is equipped with comprehensive process sensor technology."
