Overview
We offer a Developing a Ground breaking Wire-Directed Energy Deposition (w-DED) Technology for Printing Ultra-Thin Walls degree at Cranfield University. Micro-scale parts/components find extensive use in sectors such as healthcare, electronics, automotive, and aerospace. Currently, one of the innovative manufacturing processes for producing them is metal additive manufacturing (AM), primarily utilizing powder bed processes.
Features
- Wire-based Directed Energy Deposition (w-DED) is a pivotal AM process alongside the powder bed process.
- In comparison with the Laser powder bed AM process, w-DED surpasses in its capability to print dimensions without limits, offering higher deposition rates, improved metallurgy, greater feedstock material efficiency, and reasonable investment costs.
