Abstract

Advances in direct-metal depositing are continuing, offering the promise of manufacturing and design improvements that could make design and fabrication of metallic parts speedier and more cost efficient. This paper examines the progress in designed materials, integrated design and manufacturing, and remote manufacturing, along with areas where further research is required.
