Learn how Laser Metal Deposition (LMD) works, key materials, typical applications, and benefits over traditional methods.

If you know anything about how the way light behaves, you might be aware that light beams consist of photons, and not electrons. Electron beams are different—they consist of electrons, not photons. Electronic Beam Melting (EBM) uses a focused beam of electrons to melt metal powder layer by layer. This process is especially useful in […]
