The ZENIT Series represents the next evolution in laser-based manufacturing: a modular robotic cell designed for Direct Energy Deposition (DED) and advanced laser processes.
Configurable with powder DED, wire DED, or WAAM, as well as non-additive processes such as remote laser welding, laser hardening, and surface treatments, ZENIT delivers industrial flexibility with precision at scale.
Single process
Multi process
Inert gas chamber
Available in single-process, multi-process, and inert gas chamber versions, ZENIT adapts to any production environment, from R&D labs to automated factory lines.
Its Siemens-based control architecture enables seamless integration with digital factory systems, combining intuitive programming with powerful monitoring and data connectivity.
Every ZENIT cell is designed for reliability, repeatability, and safety. Optional inert chamber technology, protected by an exclusive AltForm patent, drastically reduces inerting times while maintaining clean and stable process conditions: ideal for reactive metals such as titanium or aluminum.
At its core, ZENIT embodies AltForm’s industrial DNA: automation-ready, customizable, and built for continuous production.

Designed around your process
ZENIT can be tailored to your workflow: from automation level to laser wavelength and process combination.
Whether you need a standalone robotic cell or a connected production line, AltForm engineers will shape the perfect system for your application.
Software and control
AltForm DED systems are built on the Siemens ecosystem, the industry standard in CNC machine tool control. Machine and robot are programmed from a single unified interface, using G-code: no proprietary languages, no parallel systems to manage.
A fully integrated digital twin allows complete simulation of the machining program before any physical execution, enabling operators to verify trajectories, detect potential collisions, and validate the process in a virtual environment before the first part runs.
One interface, one logic, one workflow. In the same control environment used across CNC machining centers worldwide.
