3 years ago I acquired a somewhat complete laser cladding system from the local navy ship yard research lab
panasonic arm and control
panasonic rotary positioner
16 kw fiber laser with diode head and some components for wire feed build up
also included was test plate about 50 mm thick with clad build up which had been partial thickness machined
I operate shop on maximum 10 kw single phase power--generate 3 phase with freq drives
and could not energize 16 kw laser 480 3 phase
so, the good folks of Synergy Manufacturing--Detroit became new owners
---and they transformed components into functioning system
their video
3D metal printing, laser heat treating, laser additive manufacturing, laser cladding, laser welding - YouTube
I include pics--- taken today ----of test plate ---no cladding delamination thus far
