Machine Comparison
DMG Mori LASERTEC 125 DED hybrid vs DMG Mori LASERTEC 30 SLM 3rd Generation
DMG Mori vs DMG Mori · Metal Additive Manufacturing
Summary
The DMG Mori LASERTEC 125 DED hybrid and LASERTEC 30 SLM are both DMG Mori metal additive machines, but they use different processes and serve different jobs. The LASERTEC 125 DED hybrid deposits metal with a laser and machines it in the same setup, on large dies, casings and structural parts. The LASERTEC 30 SLM builds parts layer by layer in a powder bed.
The LASERTEC 125 has 1,335 x 1,250 x 900 mm of travel against 325 x 325 x 400 mm, a 2,000 kg load against 400 kg, and a 3,000 W laser against 1,000 W. The LASERTEC 30 SLM runs CELOS X with a 21.5-inch touchscreen; the DED hybrid runs CELOS with OPTOMET additive software.
