Directed Energy Deposition
A process in which focused thermal energy is used to fuse materials by melting as the material is being deposited
It is one of the sectors to first have opted for these technologies, making use of parts for non-structural elements. Lately, and due to the advancement in technology and materials, structural parts are also being manufactured.
It is a sector of high added value due to its interest in the reduction of weight in small components, to achieve economic savings in fuel.
The production focuses on small runs, complex geometries focusing on new burners and stationary turbine components.
