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...

You may be ready to adopt additive manufacturing technology for production -- but you still have questions about how to get the most out of additive technology. What key factors do you need to examine before adopting AM for your applications? To address your questions, EWI presents the Guide to Metal Additive Manufacturing, Part II:...

Robotic directed energy deposition technology offers a robust, multi-faceted process for building and repairing large-scale components. EWI is currently involved in a broad research program to mature DED technology for use in the aerospace, energy, defense, shipbuilding, and heavy manufacturing industries. As part of this effort, EWI has installed a Cloos robotic DED system for...
