| Abstract Scope |
Each of the many AM processes have their own distinct benefits, drawbacks, and design guidance, however the additive nature of AM fundamentally lends itself well to combining multiple processes to access the benefits of each. Fusion based AM processes in particular are highly compatible in principle, however workflow, fixturing and part/feature access present practical limitations. One of the more intriguing combinations of techniques is laser powder bed fusion (LPBF) and wire directed energy deposition (WDED), where the LPBF can be used to create fine features, and the WDED leveraged to add significant mass. We will show the design and fabrication of a hybrid LPBF-WDED nose cone, focusing on both successful outcomes and lessons learned.
