We are excited to share the most recent publication from Archès Lab: “Cold Spray Additive Manufacturing: A Review of Shape Control Challenges and Solutions”.
Cold Spray is gaining attention in additive manufacturing for its fast deposition rates, minimal thermal effects, and flexibility in material selection and part size. However, shape control remains a key challenge. The low resolution of spray spots often leads to waviness, tapering, and edge losses, making it harder to achieve precise geometries.
This review takes a closer look at the current efforts to characterize and predict Cold Spray deposit shapes and explores strategies for improving geometrical control, including advanced trajectory planning techniques.
