DMG Mori launched the LASERTEC 6600 system to 3D print 4 meter parts 3D Printer Hardware

by Technologies

At Formnext 2019 many were in awe seeing the very large LASERTEC 125 DED hybrid system from DMG Mori. This year there was no physical formnext but if DMG Mori could have shown its newest 3D printer it would have dwarfed it. The LASERTEC 6600 DED hybrid system is a behemoth with up to 1,040 mm on the X-axis, -280 mm to +330 mm on the Y-axis, 3,890 mm on the Z-axis. Yes you read correctly: that’s 4 meters (a bit more than 12 feet) on the Z-axis. Considering that the LASERTEC 65 hybrid could cost as much as $1.5 million, 3dpbm expects that the LASERTEC 6600 DED Hybrid’s price could levitate to above $3 million.
