CNC manufacturing of 3D LASER BW

3D LASER BW manufactures metal direct components with complex geometries and hollow or lattice structures. In addition to additive manufacturing, the entire component design and manufacturing process, from consulting, design, simulation, and feasibility testing to mechanical post-processing of 3D printing (using our own 5-axis CNC machining), surface treatment, and assembly of components.
On request, the specialists at 3D LASER BW can also develop tailor-made metallic powders.

CNC manufacturing at 3D Laser BW follows a consistent and precisely coordinated process that ensures a high level of process reliability and reproducibility. From digital design to final quality control, all steps are seamlessly integrated. State-of-the-art CAD/CAM software is used in combination with powerful 5-axis technology.

Once machining is complete, a comprehensive quality check is carried out. Depending on customer requirements, this can be done manually, tactilely, or optically. 3D Laser BW uses both classic measuring equipment and modern 3D coordinate measuring technology to precisely check dimensional accuracy, form and position tolerances, and surface quality.
All relevant quality data is documented and, upon request, provided in a test report. This ensures complete traceability and process reliability throughout the entire manufacturing process.

The centerpiece of CNC manufacturing at 3D Laser BW is a Hermle C400, a high-precision 5-axis machining center that is reliably in use. The machine belongs to the premium class of universal milling machines and is specially designed for demanding geometries, complex contours, and maximum dimensional accuracy.
With this system, workpieces can be machined simultaneously on five sides in a single setup – even with free-form surfaces, undercuts, or geometries that are difficult to access. This not only reduces re-clamping operations, but also ensures high dimensional accuracy, excellent surface quality, and maximum process reliability – even with delicate components or materials that are difficult to machine.

Thanks to the combination of Hermle technology, CAM-supported programming with Hypermill, and experienced specialist staff, 3D Laser BW is able to manufacture complex precision parts for a wide range of industries economically and reliably.

CNC machining at 3D Laser BW is used in a wide range of industries – wherever maximum precision, tight tolerances, and complex geometries are required. In particular, when combined with additive manufacturing, highly functional components are created that are precisely tailored to their intended use.
