Abstract Scope |
Directed Energy Deposition (DED) as an AM technology enables novel applications from new alloy development to functionally graded materials (FGM) and large-scale manufacturing. DED offers unique capabilities in materials due to its ability to use multiple materials within the same build, and low material consumption. Computational design frameworks can rapidly generate many compositional architectures for alloy design and transitions, and bridging the gap between the computational and physical samples is key to rapid development. FormAlloy’s Co-Founder & CEO, Melanie Lang, will provide insight into the design and development of state of the art DED systems and the Alloy Development Feeder (ADF), and share examples of how novel applications and rapid development are enabled by DED and the associated data capture framework known as DEDSmart™. |
