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...
