Introduction Additive Manufacturing (AM) technologies, also known by 3D Printing, have gain more popularity since the late 20th cen- tury, at the time called Rapid Prototyping (RP) or Layer Man- ufacturing (LM) [1].
Wire-fed directed energy deposition based additive manufacturing enables fabricating large parts in a cost-effective way. However, achieving reliable mechanical properties, desired structural integrity, and homogeneity in microstructure and grain size is challenging due to layerwise-built characteristics. Procada, Directed
The powder-blown additive manufacturing process, or directed energy deposition (DED), is characterized by the interaction of a heat source with powder particles that flow from a nozzle into a melt
In laser-based directed energy deposition (DED) additive manufacturing, interactions among the laser beam, particle flow, and melt pool influence the properties of the solidified final part. Two separate DED systems, one with high powder flow rates to represent industrial-scale DED processing and the other with low powder
Laser-directed energy deposition (LDED) is an additive manufacturing (AM) process to build a component by delivering energy and material simultaneously. A laser beam is used to melt material that is selectively deposited on a specified surface, where it solidifies.
Directed Energy Deposition (DED), utilizes a concentrated heat source, which may be a laser or electron beam, with in situ delivery of powder- or wire-shaped material for subsequent melting to accomplish layer-by-layer part fabrication or single-to-multi layer cladding/repair. Additive manufacturing has many aliases, including: solid

Directed energy deposition (DED) additive manufacturing systems have been developed and optimized for typical engineering materials and operational requirements. However, parts fabricated via DED often demonstrate a diminished material response, encompassing inferior mechanical properties and heat treatment outcomes
Directed Energy Deposition or DED is a category of additive manufacturing processes that use a coaxial feed of metal material of powder or wire. These materi
Directed energy deposition (DED) is a branch of additive manufacturing (AM) processes in which a feedstock material in the form of powder or wire is delivered to a substrate on which an energy source such as laser beam, electron beam, or plasma/electric arc is simultaneously focused, thus forming a small melt pool and continuously depositing
Bimetallic wire arc additive manufacturing (AM) has traditionally been limited to depositions characterized by single planar interfaces. This study demonstrates a more complex radial interface
Laser powder–based directed energy deposition (DED) is a specific additive manufacturing process that offers an effective way to fabricate parts via simultaneous delivery of powders and laser beam. It has been developing greatly in the recent decades and being widely used for manufacturing, prototyping, and repairing.
In the directed energy deposition (DED) process, significant empirical testing is required to select the optimal process parameters. In this study, single-track experiments were conducted using
Direct energy deposition (DED), also referred to as directed energy deposition, is a particular approach to additive manufacturing (3D printing). It directs an energy source at a spot on the source material to make a small amount of melt and then adds feed material to this melt in order to deposit new material onto the component.
Directed energy deposition (DED) is a major category of processes used for additive manufacturing of metal parts. The classification of this process based on type of feedstock and type of energy used has led to the development of a range of different DED processes. This chapter presents descriptions of powder-based and wire-based
A form of an additive manufacturing process called directed energy deposition (DED) entails the exact deposition of material utilizing a focused energy source. In Direct Energy Deposition (DED), a nozzle or other deposition device directs a stream of material, and an energy source like a laser or electron beam heats or fuses it.
