Gefertec to showcase sustainable DED technology for metal components at EMO Hannover 2025
Gefertec GmbH, based in Berlin, Germany, has announced that it will be showcasing its technology for the Additive Manufacturing of large metal components at this year’s EMO Hannover. Scheduled to take place from September 22–26, 2025, in Hannover, Germany, the event will focus on machine tools for metal cutting and forming, production systems, precision tools, automation, and industrial digitalisation.
Gefertec’s booth will include its Directed Energy Deposition (DED) technology, an established Additive Manufacturing process positioned as a resource-efficient and economical alternative to conventional milling.
The company will demonstrate how DED can be used to produce complex components efficiently, with minimal material waste. The process uses standard welding wire and boasts high build rates, low material costs, and ease of handling. Another benefit is the significant reduction of carbon emissions, a compelling argument in times of increasing demand for sustainable industrial processes.
“As a pioneer in the field of WAAM, we have extensive application experience and the largest number of industrially manufactured WAAM components worldwide,” said Johannes Zuckschwerdt, Managing Director of Gefertec.
At the booth, examples such as a repaired impeller with newly applied blades illustrate the possibilities of the process – a typical scenario for applications in the energy or aerospace industries.
Gefertec will be at EMO Hannover, booth D74, Hall 12.
