WSoptics wowed the judges at the EuroBLECH 2016 awards with its revolutionary idea -- a easy enough fixture that can turn a laser cutting machine into one that does laser welding too.

To enable generative manufacturing, the Lasertec 65 3D milling machine from DMG Mori is equipped with a 2-kW diode laser for laser deposition welding. The five-axis mechanism features a monoblock design, making it a stable to carry out precise milling operations.
