Australian Researchers Explore Certifiable Laser Direct Energy Deposition Process
An industry-led research collaboration in Australia will investigate the development of a certifiable Laser Direct Energy Deposition repair process for high-value aerospace alloys used in modern military aircraft. The project, supported by the Additive Manufacturing Cooperative Research Centre, aims to demonstrate the repair of an advanced military aircraft component in line with Original Equipment Manufacturer and NASA standards. The research collaboration includes Rosebank Engineering, RMIT Centre for Additive Manufacturing, and Swinburne University of Technology, and was first reported by Australian Defence Magazine.
