Abstract

Official abstract text for this publication.

A laser built up method on an object with different surfaces is provided. The object can be coated locally, which is not possible by the conventional rapid prototyping processes. The object is put into a powder bed, powder is provided on or near the object and the powder is only locally provided on the upper outer surface of the object and then densified.

First claim

Opening claim text (preview).

We claim: 1. A laser build up method on a surface of an object, comprising: providing powder on or near the object having an upper outer surface comprising two or more non planar surfaces with different heights and including a lower upper outer surface and an upper outer surface; retracting the object such that the height of the object is lower than the powder; supplying or distributing the powder only locally on the upper outer surface of the object; moving a tool is two di…
