Abstract

"It has been acknowledged that close-loop feedback control of laser aided direct metal/material deposition (DMD) process is critical to deliver this revolutionary rapid manufacturing technology into industry. The primary concern in applying the control technique is how precisely the deposition dimension can be achieved; however, the challenge to implement it comes from how to control the deposition height effectively. This research work investigates height control methods to achieve the dimensional precision, for typical cases such as uniform depsoition, adaptive, and non-uniform deposition, based on optical height sensing technology--Abstract, page iii.
