Overview

The DMG Mori LASERTEC 65 DED hybrid 2nd Generation is the successor to one of the industry's most recognized hybrid additive-subtractive platforms, integrating six manufacturing processes into a single machine: 5-axis milling, turning, grinding, laser pre-heating, directed energy deposition (DED), and integrated scan3D measurement. This convergence eliminates multi-machine workflows for complex parts that combine additive buildup with precision finish machining.

The 2nd Generation delivers a 170% larger workpiece capacity compared to the 1st Generation, now handling parts up to 600 kg (1,323 lb) with workpiece dimensions of 840 x 350 mm or 680 x 400 mm diameter-by-height. Axis travels measure 735 x 650 x 560 mm (28.9 x 25.6 x 22.0 in), matching the proven monoBLOCK platform geometry. The 3,000 W laser system is available in both infrared and blue laser technology options -- the blue laser being particularly effective for copper and other highly reflective materials that infrared lasers struggle to process.

DMG Mori claims a 35% higher build rate over the 1st Generation, combined with 71% reduced cost per cubic decimeter and 47% reduced cost per part. These improvements come from the new multiJet nozzle for 5-axis material deposition, which optimizes powder distribution during the additive process. The multiJet design enables consistent deposition quality across varying tool orientations, which is critical for building features on complex 3D surfaces.

The integrated scan3D measurement system provides in-process quality verification, allowing the machine to scan deposited geometry before transitioning to milling operations. This closed-loop approach catches deposition defects before expensive machining time is invested. The CELOS control platform manages both additive and subtractive programming through an APP-based interface integrated with digital manufacturing solutions.

Compared to the LASERTEC 125 DED hybrid, the 65 DED hybrid 2nd Generation is more compact and accessible, making it the entry point for shops adding hybrid AM capability. It excels at repair and feature addition on medium-sized components, near-net-shape preform building, and multi-material deposition where wear-resistant coatings or functional gradients are required.

Strengths & Limitations

Strengths

Six integrated processes -- milling, turning, grinding, laser pre-heating, DED, and scan3D -- eliminate multi-machine workflows for hybrid parts
Blue laser option enables processing of copper and highly reflective materials that infrared lasers cannot effectively deposit
170% larger workpiece capacity over 1st Generation expands the range of components that fit the machine envelope
35% higher build rate and 47% lower cost per part vs 1st Generation significantly improve production economics
MultiJet nozzle maintains consistent deposition quality across all 5-axis orientations for complex geometry building
Integrated scan3D measurement provides closed-loop quality verification between additive and subtractive operations

Limitations

Price starting above $800K represents a significant investment for a machine with a 735 x 650 x 560 mm work envelope
DED surface quality inherently requires finish machining, adding cycle time compared to near-net-shape processes like SLM
Managing six process capabilities requires highly skilled programmers and operators with hybrid AM expertise
600 kg workpiece limit is adequate for most applications but falls well short of the LASERTEC 125's 2,000 kg capacity

Best For

Aerospace repair shops restoring turbine blades, vanes, and structural components with additive material buildup followed by precision machining Die and mold shops adding conformal cooling channels and wear-resistant coatings to existing tool bodies Research institutions developing multi-material and functionally graded components for advanced applications Job shops entering hybrid AM with a versatile platform that also serves as a capable standalone 5-axis machining center Energy sector manufacturers repairing and refurbishing high-value turbine and compressor components

Frequently Asked Questions

01 What does a LASERTEC 65 DED hybrid 2nd Generation cost?

Pricing typically ranges from $800,000 to $1,500,000 depending on laser type (infrared vs blue), spindle options, and automation packages. The blue laser option for copper processing adds a premium. The 2nd Generation commands a modest premium over remaining 1st Generation inventory.

02 What is the blue laser option for?

Blue laser technology (approximately 450 nm wavelength) is absorbed much more efficiently by copper, gold, and other highly reflective metals compared to infrared lasers. This enables reliable DED processing of copper alloys for applications like induction coil manufacturing, electrical contacts, and thermal management components.

03 How does it compare to the 1st Generation?

The 2nd Generation offers 170% larger workpiece capacity, 35% higher build rate, 71% lower cost per cubic decimeter, and 47% lower cost per part. The multiJet nozzle for 5-axis deposition and blue laser option are new capabilities not available on the 1st Generation.

04 Can this machine function as a standalone 5-axis machining center?

Yes. With 735 x 650 x 560 mm travels and a capable milling spindle, it functions as a full 5-axis machining center based on the proven monoBLOCK platform. Shops can use it for conventional machining when not running hybrid jobs.
