Directed Energy Deposition
Directed Energy Deposition
At Nucleus-AM, we help companies adopt to DED additive manufacturing technologies because of
High Build Rates:
our machines have higher deposition rates compared to other additive manufacturing techniques like powder bed fusion. This enables faster production of parts, making DED suitable for rapid prototyping and production of large components.
Material Flexibility:
our processes are compatible with a wide range of materials, including metals, ceramics, and even composites. This versatility allows for the fabrication of parts with specific mechanical, thermal, or chemical properties tailored to the application requirements.
Minimize Material Waste:
Our targeted material deposition reduces waste compared to subtractive manufacturing methods, where excess material is removed from a larger block or billet.
Repair and Refurbishment:
our technology is particularly useful for repairing or refurbishing worn-out components. By adding material layer by layer, it’s possible to restore parts to their original dimensions or even enhance them with additional features, extending their operational lifespan.
Complex Geometry:
Our processes allow for the fabrication of parts with complex geometries that may be challenging or impossible to produce using traditional manufacturing methods. This capability opens up new design possibilities and enables the creation of lightweight structures optimized for strength and performance.
Near-Net Shape Manufacturing:
These processes can produce parts close to their final dimensions with minimal post-processing required. This reduces the time and cost associated with finishing operations such as machining, polishing, or heat treatment.
Multi-material Printing:
our systems support the deposition of multiple materials simultaneously or sequentially, allowing for the creation of hybrid parts with graded material properties or integrated functionality.
Scalability:
This process can be scaled up to accommodate larger workpieces or scaled down for applications requiring high precision and fine detail. This scalability makes DED suitable for a wide range of industries, from aerospace and automotive to healthcare and consumer electronics.
Overall, we make it a compelling choice for various manufacturing applications where rapid production, material versatility, and design freedom are paramount.
