Company Performance Metrics
melting with metals. Technology driver is the patented LaserCUSING ® procedure, also known as 3D metal printing, which developed more than 15 years, the additive manufacturing of 3D components of a rapid technology to industrial mass production.
As Frank Herzog founded the Concept Laser GmbH in 2000 in Lichtenfels, a metal laser melting system
on the market was a completely unknown quantity. As means of a laser creates a 3D geometry from metal powder? What does 3D printing or a digital process chain for the production of the future?
The answer was an industrial plant technology: Concept Laser set 2001, the first facility of its kind at the Euromold in Frankfurt. With today 50 granted patents and over 100 patent applications Frank Herzog and his currently more than 170 employees drive the LaserCUSING ® process forward all the time. The company operated from locations in Germany, the US and China, as well as through a network of over 35 sales and service partners across industries the world market for laser melting systems.
The high quality demands, skills for process applications and materials of Concept Laser stand for reliable and cost-effective solutions that provide the daily production will prove their efficiency and are geared primarily to unit cost reductions. In addition to economic aspects, the method offers compared to conventional production methods, a variety of other advantages: The components are lighter, the designer has more freedom, topology and geometry are optimized, you can integrate additional functions and requires less raw material. The result: components that have been produced with machining processes are now redesigned to utilize the potential of additive manufacturing in full screen.
Concept Laser offers a range of small equipment (50 x 50 x 80 mm 3 ) to the system with the world's largest space (800 x 400 x 500 mm 3 ) at. Equipped with the multi-laser technology equipment from Concept Laser are among the world's fastest, most secure, highest quality laser melting systems. More than 550 installed systems and significant references and projects of the Frankish "Hidden Champion" around the world speak for themselves and represent an outstanding technology of the future with the seal "Made in Germany".
So today put the aerospace, automotive, medical, dental technology, tool making and other industries strategically on the 3D metal printing as an economical and high-quality production strategy of the future under the banner of "Industry 4.0".
