LASER RHEOLOGY PROCESSING

Abstract
Great advances have been made in laser technology in recent years. Near net shape manufacturing technology, on the other hand, has attracted attention to the products of expensive and difficult-to-machine materials. It is in this context Laser Rheology Processing (LRP) is proposed, where lasers as a fabrication tool and rheological powder as input are used. In this paper, merits, feasibility, results of a fundamental experiment, and conceptual design of an LRP machine are discussed.
