Huirui-laser Complete Laser Additive Manufacturing Solutions for Research Institutions

November 19, 2024

Comprehensive Laser Additive Manufacturing Solutions

Laser cladding additive manufacturing technology can be widely applied in new material development, surface coating technologies, 3D printing, and additive repair.
To meet the research and development needs of universities and scientific research institutes in laser metal additive manufacturing, Huirui-laser has developed a series of multifunctional systems, including:

  • Metal+®One – High-throughput metal 3D printing system

  • UHS-iCoating® – Compact ultra-high-speed cladding equipment

  • iLAM® F20ER – 8-axis robotic intelligent additive manufacturing system

Compared with industrial-grade equipment, these systems are designed with compact size and medium-to-low laser power configurations, while supporting high-precision powder feeding (±1%) and fine cladding processes. With versatile software options, they are highly suitable for multi-purpose research on materials and processes.

Huirui-laser Expertise in Laser Metal Additive Manufacturing

The Huirui-laser technical team has long been dedicated to the research and application of laser metal additive manufacturing technologies. By mastering the core processes of laser thermal material processing, the company has accumulated a comprehensive database of high-performance alloy additive manufacturing processes.

With self-developed laser cladding equipment, manufacturing processes, and application software, Huirui-laser maintains a leading position in the industry.
