Deploying new technology that can benefit equipment component repair lead time, while sustaining its integrity, is becoming more crucial in this age of nimbleness. Many repairs have traditionally occupied conventional methods (coating, machining, casting), which have been proven to work well. However, the lead time and quality do not always meet users? expectation. Additive Manufacturing (AM) in the form of Laser Printing and Cladding are viewed as alternatives to repair methods, which can close the gap in lead time and quality.
