A novel approach to fabricate uni-directional and branching slender structures using laser-based direct metal deposition

Development of methods for designing and manufacturing aircraft components with additive technologies

“…To reflect lines, surfaces and forms, the optical system is automatically controlled in regard to the workpiece. Intelligent sensory system ensures a constant layer thickness [7][8][9].…”

“…Laser Based Direct Metal Deposition (LBDMD) is a prospective additive manufacturing technology that is perfectly suited for the production of complex metal structures, small-lot production, and repair or modification of parts [7][8][9] It is widely used in the automotive, biomedical and aviation industries.…”

Laser-controlled intermetallics synthesis during surface cladding

“…In this paragraph we will formulate base equations for the description of the layerwise remelting in reaction-capable powder composition on the substrate according to [55][56][57][58][59][60][61][62][63][64][65][66]. Because the 3D LC is a thermal process, the known equation of thermal conductivity plays a central role in the process of physical simulation.…”

Low cost integration of additive and subtractive processes for hybrid layered manufacturing
