DEPOSITION HEAD FOR ADDITIVE MANUFACTURING

摘要

A deposition head (106) for additive manufacturing may include a material feeder (110) including a first feeder (134) to deposit a first feed material (140) to a growth surface (120), and a second feeder (136) to deposit a second feed material (142) to the growth surface (120), and an electromagnetic energy source (112) to direct electromagnetic energy (114) to the growth surface (120), wherein the electromagnetic energy (114) forms a melt pool (124) on the growth surface (120), and wherein the melt pool (124) may include at least one of a molten first feed material (146) and a molten second feed material (148).
