Abstract: Provided are a curved clamping mold and systems and methods using the curved clamping mold for manufacturing objects, especially titanium and titanium alloy objects, by directed energy deposition. The methods include thermally pre-bending the substrate onto which the object is to be manufactured to form a pre-bent substrate, attaching the pre-bent substrate to a jig using the curved clamping mold as an underlying support, pre-heating the substrate, and forming the object on the pre-heated, pre-bent substrate using a directed energy deposition technique.

Abstract: This invention relates to a method and arrangement for manufacturing objects by solid freeform fabrication, especially titanium and titanium alloy objects, wherein the deposition rate is increased by supplying the metallic feed material in the form of a wire and employing two gas transferred arcs, one plasma transferred arc for heating the deposition area on the base material and one plasma transferred arc for heating and melting the feed wire.

Abstract: Provided is a chamber system for solid free form fabrication, the chamber system having a deposition chamber, a service chamber and one or more loading/unloading chambers. The chamber system allows for a more efficient and cost effective process to service the deposition apparatus, load holding substrates, and unload workpieces without requiring having to adjust the atmosphere in the deposition chamber.

Abstract: Additive manufacturing systems with standoff distance monitoring and control, which can be responsive, dynamic, and in real-time. These technologies can use a standoff distance measurement system to real-time monitor, read, or interrogate a workpiece or a substrate on which the workpiece is positioned, as the workpiece is moved past a directed energy source, or vice versa. These technologies can use a feedback controller to responsively and dynamically control the standoff distance in real-time based on data from the standoff distance measurement system.
