Additive Manufacturing (Page 17)

Directed energy deposition (DED), which leverages commercial robotic welding systems, is an agile and economical large-scale additive manufacturing (AM) process. DED AM is low risk since it leverages existing welding process equipment, consumables, procedures, and standards – which all have decades of proven performance. Using DED “digital” computer-aided manufacturing (CAM) software, component structures can be...

EWI is pleased to present several live events in the month of October: The EWI Additive Manufacturing Automotive Workshop -- Join EWI and Additive Manufacturing Consortium experts to learn about recent advances in AM technology. Tuesday, October 5, 2021 in Troy, Michigan. Fundamentals of Welding Engineering Course -- This week-long class offers engineers and technicians...

In the manufacturing world, robotic welding systems are making their way into directed energy deposition (DED) AM production. EWI recently converted, demonstrated, and validated an IPG Genesis robotic welding cell for DED AM use. The system is dimensionally accurate and ready to build large-scale AM parts. This project is described in IPG Genesis Robotic DED...
