Multi-material applications place high demands on processes, systems, and integration.
Different materials, complex setups, and limited flexibility make many multi-material concepts difficult to implement in practice.

With the new multi-material welding head for our AconityWIRE, Aconity3D offers a solution that addresses these challenges directly – practical, flexible, and ready for real-world applications

More Material Freedom – Less Complexity

The multi-material welding head enables the processing of up to three different wire materials within a single build.
Material combinations can be realized without changing the system, using an integrated and stable process.

The welding head also opens up new possibilities for repair applications:
Wear or damaged areas can be selectively restored using material-optimized combinations—for example, by depositing function-specific materials onto existing components. Repairs, reinforcements, and local material modifications can thus be implemented efficiently, reproducibly, and without extensive retooling.

Customers benefit from:

• – Expanded design freedom through multi-material concepts
• – High flexibility for build and repair applications
• – Reduced system and process complexity
• – Shorter development times from idea to application

The new welding head is available either:

• – as a production add-on for the AconityWIRE, or
• – as a stand-alone process module for flexible integration into existing machines.

Already in use: Multi-material welding in practice

The new multi-material welding head is not only available, but already being used successfully by a customer.

At the Rosenheim University of Applied Sciences, the welding head is actively used for research, process development, and multi-material applications.
There, material combinations are tested, processes are validated, and research results are transferred into application-oriented scenarios.

This implementation demonstrates that multi-material welding is no longer purely a research topic, but is ready for practical application.

Experience it live: AconityXPERIENCE on May 19, 2026

Anyone who would like to experience the new multi-material welding head live will have the opportunity to do so on May 19, 2026.

At the first in-house exhibition, AconityXPERIENCE, Aconity3D will open its doors and present the multi-material welding head in real live demonstrations.

What else you can expect:

• – Real processes instead of presentations
• – Presentation of our latest LPBF machine – AconityX
• – Direct exchange with Aconity3D experts

Your next step

You want to:

• – Configure an AconityWIRE with the new multi-material welding head directly? Access the configurator here: Aconity3D Configurator

• – Or are you only interested in the new welding head as an add-on or stand-alone solution?

Contact us directly at machines@aconity3d.com – we’ll be happy to advise you on your application and the suitable integration options.
