Recent Trends and Future Prospects of Directed Energy Deposition (DED) Technology

Abstract

In this paper, we present the characteristics of our Directed Energy Deposition 3D printing machine LAMDA, focusing on the local shield nozzle and monitoring feedback. We explain the effects of the local shield nozzle, which ensures a wide shielding area, and the monitoring feedback, which stabilizes the melt pool and improves the stability of the metal material and shape, with examples of the resulting structures.
