Directed Energy Deposition

At FABTECH October 14-17, EWI engineers will have many applied R&D innovations to share with manufacturers. If you are heading to Orlando, don't miss the technology breakthroughs being debuted at the AWS Professional Program. EWI's presentations will include the following: Nano-particle Aluminum Weld Wire Advancement for Navy Maintenance, Repair, and Overhaul (MRO) Activity – Monday,...

Interested in using directed energy deposition (DED) in your operation to build fine component features or execute repairs? Laser DED can be quite expensive. However, EWI has recently developed a DED process based on gas metal arc welding (GMAW) that is significantly more cost efficient. The project is described in Reciprocating Wire Feed Gas Metal...

This past September, EWI was awarded a $17 million, 3-year contract with the U.S. Air Force to develop convergent manufacturing (CM) platforms for maintenance, repair, and overhaul (MRO) sustainment. The project is now being managed under the auspices of the Air Force Research Laboratory (AFRL). Technical development work is already taking place at EWI’s labs...
