Synergy Additive offers ‘laser-based solutions to complex manufacturing challenges’

Synergy Additive sells custom systems for welding, heat treating, and additive manufacturing.

Synergy Additive Manufacturing LLC specializes in developing laser-based solutions to complex manufacturing challenges related to wear, corrosion, and tool life. It heat-treats, welds, and additively manufactures parts.

The Clinton Twp., Mich., shop also custom-builds heat-treating, cladding, and additive manufacturing systems and sells plug-and-play devices that integrate robots, CNC machines, and other shop equipment.

Synergy Additive uses DED (directed energy deposition) technology to print parts. A powder nozzle attached to a gantry system or robot builds metal parts layer by layer from the bottom up. The company claims DED offers higher deposition rates than DMLS (direct metal laser sintering) or SLM (selective laser melting), generates low process heat, and yields near-net-shape parts with a density of 99.95%.

The company’s AM systems come with a build envelope ranging from 30 by 18 by 12 in., for precision printing, to 9 by 9 by 6 ft.
