What is Directed Energy Deposition 3D Printing Technology?

 The application of 3D printing technology can be traced back to the stereolithography (SLA) technology developed by Charles Hull of the United States in 1986. In the next 20 years, a number of 3D printing technology patents such as layered solid manufacturing (LOM) and fused deposition modeling (FDM) came out one after another. , SLM solution, etc. 

Since 3D printing technology started earlier in European and American countries, after more than 30 years of development, technologies such as SLA (stereolithography) and SLS (selective laser sintering) have been relatively mature. It is relatively perfect in R&D and manufacturing of high-temperature metal materials and equipment.




What is 3D printing technology?


3D printing technology is a kind of rapid prototyping technology. It decomposes the three-dimensional digital model designed by the computer into several layers of plane slices, and then the powdery, liquid or filamentary plastic, metal, ceramics or sand can be glued by the 3D printer. Composite materials are superimposed layer by layer according to sliced graphics, and finally piled up into a complete object.


The development status of 3D printing technology


Since the beginning of the 21st century, various subdivisions of additive manufacturing technology have been further developed, such as digital light processing (DLP), multi-head jet technology (PloyJet), etc. have been developed. Special 3D printing materials for custom 3D printed figurine and 3D printing equipment have also emerged as the times require. At present, the 3D printing industry in the world has generally formed a complete industrial chain covering raw materials, parts, processes, equipment, and services. Some key enterprises have been upgraded from single equipment manufacturers to comprehensive solutions from design to terminal parts manufacturing business.

What is Directed Energy Deposition (DED)


DED technology uses laser or other energy sources to generate a molten pool in the deposition area and move it at high speed. The material is directly sent into the high-temperature melting area in the form of powder or filament, and is deposited layer by layer after melting. It is called laser directed energy deposition 3D printing technology. The laser metal powder deposition technology (laser metal deposition-LMD) in the DED technology classification uses laser as the energy source and metal powder as the processing material.



Magic Box is the first producer to produce real face customized 3D printed figurines, using 3D portrait modeling and AI technology. 3D printed action figure of yourself is a unique and meaningful gift for everyone. Only uploading a 2D front face photo can custom a personal 3D printed figure. And only the head is customized, and the body is made according to the product pictures!
