An Analysis of the Advancements in Laser-Powered Direct Energy Deposition for Parts Repair

Abstract:

This research paper investigates the recent progress in using Powder Direct Energy Deposition (Powder DED) for fixing parts. Powder DED is a modern way of 3D printing that's gaining attention for its ability to mend and renew vital components. This study breaks down the latest improvements and trends in Powder DED technology, explaining how it works and the materials and tools involved. We also discuss how Powder DED can help industries save money and be more environmentally friendly when it comes to repairing parts, and we explore potential future developments. This paper shows how Powder DED is changing the way we approach part maintenance and repair, making it easier and more cost-effective.
