Abstract Laser assisted direct metal deposition refers to the additive layered manufacturing technology for building components from a computer-aided design (CAD) model. A motion control program is used to control the motion of a laser focal spot to trace all areas of the part, typically a planar layer at a time. Metal powders, injected into the laser focal zone, are melted and then re-solidify into fully dense metal in the wake of the moving molten pool created by the laser beam. The practical considerations and capabilities of the laser assisted directed metal deposition are further explored. [References: 19] XX
