Laser Deposition Technology (LDT)

Laser Deposition Technology (LDT) is a process in which metal powder is injected into the focused beam of a high-power laser under tightly controlled atmospheric conditions. The resulting deposits may then be used to build or repair metal parts for a variety of different applications. Laser Deposition Technology (LDT) is a blanket name that encompasses many “like“ processes—direct metal deposition (DMD), laser metal deposition, laser additive manufacturing (LAM), and others—that use a focused laser beam
