Abstract
Avoidance of over-deposition at trajectory corners is relevant in Laser Metal Deposition (LMD) for Additive Manufacturing. Currently available LMD hardware only allows constant material feed (g/s). Therefore, gliding speed of the material dispenser is the remaining tuning variable for controlling metal over-deposition at corners. Existing literature reports trial–error physical experiments, addressing only particular corner angles. In response, this manuscript reports the implementation of a voxel-based simulator of the bead geometry, taking into consideration bead profile, dispenser velocity, material feed, and bead curve geometry. We use it to evaluate two constant-feed tailored-velocity strategies for minimizing material over-deposition at corners.
