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
Cooling channels that follow the mold cavity rather than straight holes: Sotimeco can manufacture them using DED Laser technology and rebuild worn areas of a mold.
Erosion caused by contact with plasma and fluorinated or chlorinated gases: Sotimeco can use DED laser cladding to rebuild the exposed areas of process chambers, under rigorous qualification standards.
Sotimeco can use DED Laser (Gicam) technology to rebuild the cutting edges of punches, dies, and rotary cutting cylinders while maintaining their balance.
Any surface irregularities on a wafer heating substrate: Sotimeco can use DED laser deposition to deposit material onto the active surface of a susceptor, following rigorous validation.
Molten glass at over 1,000 °C, followed by cooling, in each cycle: Sotimeco can use DED laser technology to rebuild the cavity of a glass mold rather than remelting it.
A consumable that is replaced regularly and is subject to predictable wear: Sotimeco can use DED laser cladding to rebuild the chamber edge rings rather than manufacturing a new part.
Crazing and erosion occur with each thermal cycle, long before the block fails: Sotimeco can use DED laser cladding to rebuild die-casting and hot-forging molds.
Process consistency compromised by erosion of the orifices: Sotimeco can use DED laser cladding to rebuild a showerhead, subject to precision dimensional inspection.
End-effectors and joint ranges worn down by repeated friction: Sotimeco can use DED laser cladding to rebuild wafer transfer arms, avoiding the risks associated with plasma corrosion.
