Directed Energy Deposition is an Additive Manufacturing process where focused thermal energy is used to fuse materials by melting them as they are deposited.
BeAM’s industrial solutions typically utilize a deposition nozzle mounted on the Z-axis of a DED dedicated CNC machine. This allows continuous 5 axis of freedom to build/repair components layer by layer without the need for support structures.
