Presentation:
Dr. Thomas J. Lienert, AWS Past-President, (2019), provided an overview of Directed Energy Deposition-Laser (DED-L) Additive Manufacturing (AM) and compared it with multi-pass welding. After reviewing the seven AM processes (recognized by the ASTM F-42 Committee) he discussed key aspects of DED-L and process control/monitoring sensors. His presentation concluded with a short video showing complex parts that required multi-axis control.
