Directed Energy Deposition
A process in which focused thermal energy is used to fuse materials by melting as the material is being deposited
The sector has been betting on Additive Manufacturing for a long time, but always focused on prototyping and rapid product development.
The development focuses on limited series or competition vehicles, looking for weight reduction.
It is a sector that at the moment has little interest, has high needs of large volumes of production and the current technology does not have that capacity.
The production is focused on prototypes for validation of new components and on parts finished in short runs.
