Abstract
One challenge for manufacturing industries are to produces the real model. Metal
deposition is the technique for Rapid Prototyping Technology (RP) to develop the
capability to directly create functional metal shape which are dense, metallurgically
bonded, geometrically accurate and with good surface appearance. Metal deposition is
manufacturing paradigm which attemps to address these issues. It incorporates the
advantages of several processes like laser system, including solid freeform fabrication
(complex geometries, rapidly planned),CNC machining (accuaracy, smooth surfaces),
shot-peening (for stress relief) and microcasting (a high-performance, weldbased material
deposition process). These ideas are intregrated within design a nozzle that can generate a
model from CAD/CAM system. This paper will present the current research in this effort.
