Rapid prototyping by combining technologies – lasers and milling.

In line with its maxim “From the idea to the solution”, WEIHBRECHT provides a comprehensive range of machining processes from laser technology to conventional machining to water jet cutting. “We are a medium-sized laser machining and rapid prototyping company. That’s why we integrate every feasible cutting-edge innovation to enable us to carry out almost any machining task which can be done with a laser”, says Gerhard Weihbrecht, Managing Partner. The first LASERTEC 65 3D arrived in Wolpertshausen in January 2015. “In direct comparison with alternative additive manufacturing processes, I think that the hybrid technology of the LASERTEC 65 3D will allow us to produce complex workpieces with new geometries easily and efficiently, without a process chamber or time-consuming supporting geometries. In this context I already see progress in the product development stage. Additionally, the integrated milling option is an exceptionally important unique feature.”
