LAMAR and Penn State University are collaborating on a large-format Directed Energy Deposition (DED) platform aimed at enhancing materials research. This system features a 6-axis robot, a 12 kW laser, and in-situ monitoring technologies.

It supports high application rates and low-oxygen processing for sensitive alloys. The platform achieves deposition rates over 10 kg per hour and is designed for complex geometries and large structures.
