DN Solutions (formerly Doosan), the world's third largest and Korea's leading manufacturer of machine tools, will present the new DLX series at EMO in Hannover from September 22 to 26, 2025. By adding the metal 3D printer to its product portfolio, DN Solutions unites additive and subtractive manufacturing for the first time, thus completing the manufacturing process. The synergy of 3D printing and CNC technology enables the creation of new highly complex components in the shortest production time.
The DLX series represents DN Solutions' global entry into the rapidly growing market of additive technologies. With its first industrial-grade LPBF metal 3D printer, the company targets applications where subtractive methods reach their limits, such as lightweight components, organic structures, or function-optimized parts. At the same time, the metal 3D printer, in combination with established subtractive manufacturing processes, provides solutions for the entire manufacturing chain.
The goal is to close the previously missing seamless connection between LPBF and CNC processes. Through the systematic integration of software, automation, and component handling, DN Solutions creates the foundation for scalable turnkey solutions along the entire process chain. The flagship of the new Additive Manufacturing division is the DLX 450D. The industrial high-performance 3D printer is suitable for 24/7 operation and offers an interchangeable build container to minimize downtime, a multi-laser system for high printing speed, and a build volume of 450 x 450 x 450 mm.
Accelerated product development and efficiency in additive manufacturing
Additive manufacturing and thus the machines of the DLX series shorten
Market launches of new products, reduce costs through component integration and
enable new designs, from complex geometries and lightweight structures
through internal contour-adjacent cooling channels to highly individualized
components. The metal 3D printer is used in industries such as aerospace,
automotive, semiconductor manufacturing, or medical technology.
Before market launch, DN Solutions successfully tested the technology and
in the process redesigned the front cover of a spindle cylinder for the multitasking machine
DNX2100 additively – based on the principles of Design for Additive
Manufacturing (DfAM). A performance increase of 20 percent and simplified
assembly through component integration were the results.
"Additive manufacturing is, in our view, indispensable for companies that
want to produce competitively. It offers opportunities to manufacture complex metal parts that would not be feasible otherwise," says Vino Suntharakumaran, Vice President Additive Manufacturing, DN Solutions. "For us as a holistic solution provider, it was therefore a logical step to incorporate this technology into our portfolio. The necessary mechanical post-processing allows us to leverage synergies from already established technologies such as five-axis simultaneous machining and automation solutions. In addition to these solutions, we provide our customers with software, services, and support for a 360° service. This ranges from idea generation, through additive-compliant design, training, to start-up support during production, even on-site."
Along the additive process chain – from the first idea through design to
the successful manufacturing of the component – DN Solutions also supports with its in-house AM software suite. The integrated approach of hardware and software is
particularly helpful for companies looking to enter additive metal processing or expand their production. Customers will receive support in the future at the Additive Solution Center in Gütersloh, which will open in 2026.
"Silver & Blue": Exhibited machines showcase award-winning design concept
In addition to the new DLX series, DN Solutions will showcase other machines from the "DN Solutions Universe" at EMO, including the DVF5000 2nd Generation and the DNX2100. Both machines have undergone significant design updates and are the first to be launched in the new product design awarded the Red Dot Award. The 5-axis machining centers of the DVF series reduce clamping and increase productivity, especially in demanding industries such as aerospace or semiconductor manufacturing. At the same time, the DVF machines, in combination with automation solutions, provide a good basis for the development of unmanned systems. The DNX series, a multi-axis solution and compact multitasking machine, processes complex workpieces and has recently become available with the Siemens Sinumerik One machine control.
