Additive Manufacturing with High-Performance Materials, Lightweight Structures by Laser Metal Deposition and Infiltration
By Frank Brueckner, Mirko Riede, Thomas Finaske, André Seidel, Steffen Nowotny, Christoph Leyens, Eckhard Beyer Laser Metal Deposition (LMD) is used for repair/redesign as well as for manufacturing of new parts. Thereby, wire or powder filler material is reabsorbed in the laser-induced melt pool resulting in a strong metallurgical bond with the subjacent substrate in combination […]
AM Building Value: 3D Printing Forecasts Bode Well for Lasers
By Geoff Giordano While news appears almost daily to highlight the latest novel item that might be capable of being produced with 3D printing, getting a handle on the value of opportunities in industrial additive manufacturing markets can be difficult. But a compelling picture is forming thanks to recent data. By 2025, 3D printing could […]
