Abstract:
Over the last two decades laser additive manufacturing (LAM) technological communities have made considerable efforts, developing scientific and technological elements necessary for rapid and reliable production of near net shape components with desired properties and capabilities and with minimum cost and lead-time possible. LAM technology has opened up alternative possibilities for the manufacture of end-use components as well as the reuse of legacy components.  Metallic components are directly made from CAD dimension by melting metal powders pixel-by-pixel utilizing a laser, maintaining dimensional accuracy and material integrity utilizing a closed-loop feedback control.  Expanding LAM into high-value safety-stringent applications, next-level of complexities and challenges, such as real-time control of LAM to improve dimensional accuracy to minimize post-processing, real-time minimization of residual stress, in-situ monitoring and control of microstructure to obtain desired properties and performance, methodology to derive desired mechanical properties, and real-time quality control through in-situ inspection, need to be facilitated and addressed in terms of scientific know-how and manufacturing efficiency.  This presentation summarizes and discusses LAM advancements throughout two decades of R&D efforts carried out through lab environments and real-world settings, facilitating those complexities.
