All About Laser Metal Deposition 3D Printing - Thomasnet
LMD is a laser-based DED technique that selectively adds metal material onto a base workpiece in a layer-by-layer process. In powder-based LMD (p-LMD), a nozzle aggregates metal powder onto a workpiece, where a fiber laser (parallel to the nozzle) melts both the powder and the workpiece into a melt pool. This nozzle moves across the build plane ...
