Author:Pereira, MFVT; Williams, M; Du Preez, WBDate:Jul 2012A number of laser additive manufacturing (LAM) technologies can produce fully-dense metal components that potentially offer opportunities to apply the technology in die or mould making (known as rapid tooling). From these LAM technologies, ...Read more
Author:Tamsaout, T; Kheloufi, K; Amara, EH; Arthur, Nana KK; Pityana, Sisa LDate:Nov 2017A theoretical approach based on a numerical simulation using experimental data is proposed as a contribution to the study of laser-based additive manufacturing by direct energy deposition (DED). The aim is to simulate the stages of layer-by-layer ...Read more
