The LaserTec 45 Shape from DMG MORI combines five-axis precision machining with 3D laser ablation and texturing to produce high-quality fine contours and filigree cavities for injection molds, extrusion dies, inscriptions and other engravings with minimal wear. The hybrid machine offers a large work area with a rapid traverse rate of 2,362.2 ipm. Five-axis simultaneous machining is possible with the integrated swivel/rotary axis and optional torque motors. The machine program is automatically generated from the 3D CAD data of the workpiece, and optional LaserSoft software package is available to simplify contour generation, lettering, logos and surface structuring in 3D surfaces, cylinders or free-form surfaces.
