3D model reconstruction of damaged parts in an automated remanufacturing process using additive manufacturing technology

“…The directed energy deposition (DED) technology uses a thermal energy source to melt substrate, simultaneously melting the metallic powder or wire materials feedstock as they are being deposited into the substrate's melt pool [27,28]. The thermal energy source can be either a laser beam, an electron beam, or an electric arc.…”
