Notes:
Laser additive direct deposition of metals is a new rapid manufacturing technology,which combines with computer aided design, laser cladding and rapid prototyping. The advancedtechnology can build fully-dense metal components directly from CAD files without a mould ortool. With this technology, a promising rapid manufacturing system called “Laser Metal DepositionShaping (LMDS)” is being constructed and developed. Through the LMDS technology, fully-denseand near-net shaped metallic parts can be directly obtained through melting coaxially fed powderwith a laser. In addition, the microstructure and mechanical properties of the as-formed sampleswere tested and analyzed synthetically. The results showed significant processing flexibility withthe LMDS system over conventional processing capabilities was recognized, with potentially lowerproduction cost, higher quality components, and shorter lead time
