Laser Powder Bed Fusion
This process – in short LPBF – is based on the layer-by-layer application of a fine metal or plastic powder, which is then selectively fused by a laser. The result is highly precise, durable components with complex internal structures.

Binder Jetting | Metal Binder Jetting
A liquid binder connects powder particles layer by layer before the component is sintered in a furnace. This method allows the production of fine geometries and high part volumes.

Material Extrusion | Fused Deposition Modeling | Fused Filament Fabrication
A thermoplastic filament is melted in the nozzle and deposited layer by layer. Primarily used for plastics, especially for prototypes and small series.

Directed Energy Deposition | Laser Metal Deposition
Powder or wire feedstock is deposited directly into the melt pool and simultaneously fused by an energy source – usually a laser, but sometimes an electron beam or plasma. The process is mainly used for metals and is ideal for repair, reinforcement, coating, or hybrid manufacturing applications.

Electron Beam Melting
Similar to LPBF, but using an electron beam instead of a laser. Especially suitable for titanium alloys and parts used in aerospace applications.
