# iAM3D launches large-format LPW Z2500 metal AM machine

[iAM3D](https://www.voxelmatters.directory/company/iam3d-innovations/) has launched the LPW Z2500, a large-format laser directed energy deposition machine aimed at space-tech, aerospace, defense, oil and gas, heavy engineering and research applications. 

The multi-axis system offers a 2,000 x 2,000 x 2,500 mm build envelope inside a fully enclosed argon chamber designed for reactive and aerospace-grade alloys, including titanium, Inconel, tantalum and refractory materials.

## Dual deposition modes

The LPW Z2500 supports both powder-fed and wire-fed laser DED within a single machine, a combination iAM3D said was intended to enable high-resolution builds, high deposition rates and flexible material strategies without requiring separate systems. 

A built-in beam switch allowed the machine to change between the two modes instantly. A high-power fiber laser and refined material delivery systems supported rapid deposition for large-part manufacturing and heavy-industry work, iAM3D said.

## Process monitoring and material range

The machine includes a monitoring suite with high-dynamic-range melt-pool imaging, pyrometer feedback and live process diagnostics, which iAM3D said supported stable deposition and repeatable metallurgical quality. 

It also incorporates machine learning software and a process library intended for rapid prototype development. iAM3D claimed the system could process any metal AM alloy available in powder or wire form, with a primary focus on titanium, nickel and refractory alloys for demanding applications.
