Optomec is a world-leading provider of Directed Energy Deposition (DED) additive manufacturing systems, anchored by its patented Laser Engineered Net Shaping (LENS) technology. The LENS process utilizes a high-power laser and a controlled powder feed system to precisely fabricate, enhance, and repair high-value metal components layer by layer. This unique method enables the addition of material to worn or damaged areas with minimal heat input, which is crucial for sensitive components like those found in gas turbine engines, minimizing distortion and the heat-affected zone. The LENS repair process produces superior material properties often equivalent or superior to wrought materials, and supports a wide range of high-performance metals, including titanium, stainless steel, and Inconel. By leveraging this industrial-proven technology, Optomec offers robust solutions for high-value component repair and new part manufacturing across the Aerospace, Defense, and Energy industries.
