Additive for Direct Energy Deposition (DED) is available within ESPRIT®, the full-spectrum CAM system, offering programming, optimization, and simulation for both additive and subtractive processes in one integrated solution.
Side-by-side additive and subtractive programming
Natural workflow for hybrid or dedicated additive machines
Stock-aware cycles for both additive and subtractive
Full simulation of both additive and subtractive processes
DED 3+2
This 3-axis DED cycle is used for builds where the workpiece may be oriented in 5-axis, then built layer-by-layer using a 3-axis process. Stock allowance may be added around the build for subsequent finishing operations using traditional subtractive processes. The user may choose between contouring and contouring with filling strategies including offset, raster, and zig-zag to produce the desired result.
3-axis DED with 4th or 5th axis positioning
Filling strategies for solid workpieces
Added stock for subtractive finish machining
