Applications

Our solutions make it possible to quickly produce parts with high mechanical strength or to add a layer with a high degree of wear resistance by combining different materials

Defense & Naval - Repair, Manufacture, or Harden Using DED Laser Technology

Seawater valve bodies and pumps

Seawater valve bodies and pumps

A standard steel valve body can be coated with Inconel or duplex steel in applications where it is exposed to seawater: this is the principle behind Sotimeco’s DED Laser process.
Structures and Shielding Supports

Structures and Shielding Supports

A worn or corroded armor mounting point does not render the entire structure unusable: Sotimeco can repair it using DED laser technology without having to rebuild the entire vehicle.
Driveshafts for Military Vehicles

Driveshafts for Military Vehicles

Military gearboxes and axles: Their worn drive shafts can be remanufactured using DED Laser technology at Sotimeco, without the need for new parts.
Marine propeller

Marine Propellers

A marine propeller damaged by cavitation does not necessarily have to be remelted: Sotimeco can repair it using DED laser technology (NAB alloy) without remelting the entire propeller.
Shaft Lines and Propeller Shafts

Shaft lines and propeller shafts

Worn bearing seats on shaft lines several meters long: Sotimeco can resurface them using DED laser technology (duplex steels), for both civilian and military applications.
Structural components for military helicopters

Structural components for military helicopters

Fittings and rotor mounts for military helicopters: Gicam’s technology can repair them using DED laser technology, a matter of national sovereignty for fleets no longer in production.
Marine Gas Turbines

Marine Gas Turbines

Derived from aircraft engines, marine gas turbines can also be repaired using DED Laser technology at Sotimeco, which serves as a technological bridge between the two sectors.
Undercarriages of Armored Vehicles

Undercarriages of Armored Vehicles

Roller tracks, sprockets, and tracks worn down by the ground: Sotimeco can remanufacture them using DED laser technology, ensuring that military fleets are quickly restored to operational condition.
Saffron strands and rudder structures

Saffron strands and rudder structures

Adding functional material to an already forged rudder blade—whether for civilian or military use—without starting from scratch: Sotimeco can do this using DED Laser technology.
