Directed Energy Deposition
A process in which focused thermal energy is used to fuse materials by melting as the material is being deposited
Among the sectors with less application to date are the jewelry sector, architecture, footwear, sports, textiles and design in general.
They are sectors that at the moment have little interest since they only make use of the technologies of Additive
Manufacturing for prototyping.
Production today is focused on sample prototypes, custom parts and products from limited runs or short production.
