摘要: Direct metal deposition (DMD™), preferably closed-loop DMD, is used to deposit machine-readable codes onto articles with high accuracy, directly from digital data. In different embodiments, the substrate/layer combination may be tailored for improved wear resistance, thermal conductivity, density/hardness, corrosion and/or resistance corrosion, oxidation or other environmental conditions. Alternatively, layer(s) of material have specific properties custom-tailored suit application. To enhance throughput, code features fabricated using a robotic DMD arrangement. concert improvements made possible through outer layer(s), method further include step incorporating third dimension by controlling height line in addition width.
