"Laser Metal Deposition (LMD), also called as, Laser Engineered Net Shaping (LENS), Directed Energy Deposition (DED), is a typical Additive Manufacturing (AM) technology, is used for advanced free-form fabrication. It creates parts by directly melting materials and depositing them on the workpiece layer by layer. In this process, the metal powder or fiber is melted within the melting pool by laser beam or electron beam and quickly solidifies to the deposited layer. LMD technology shows great advantages over traditional manufacturing on complex structure fabrication, including high building rates, easy material replacement and reduced material waste. These merits make the wide …
