AM Processes Part 2: Principles of Directed Energy Deposition

Directed Energy Deposition (DED) is one of the metal additive manufacturing processes which finds wider industrial applications, particularly for repair and reclamation, and for large structures. This course helps the attendees to understand the fundamental concepts of DED process and covers the topics such as, how the technology works, different DED processes, materials used, and typical applications where this technology is used. The discussion will have a focus on ASTM F3187 – Standard guide for Directed Energy Deposition of Metals.
After completing this webinar the attendees will achieve the following:

· Identify and understand the different types of DED processes

· Understand how to select a DED process and trade criteria

· Understand the various materials used for DED processes

· Understand the core parameters for the DED processes

· Determine potential parts and end application of DED technology
