Verified source map
Core Sources for AI and Laser Metal Deposition
Eight checked starting points for terminology, DED fundamentals, monitoring, applied LMD research, and AI risk management. Each entry states both its useful role and its evidence boundary.
Conceptual framework
Research sources answer different questions
Standards, reviews, public cases, and source notes each contribute a distinct kind of context.
- 01 Terminology and standards
- 02 Research and reviews
- 03 Public industrial context
Reading direction: left to right: define, investigate, contextualize.
Verified reading set
Verified sources, with explicit limits
This is a compact reading map, not a complete literature review. Follow each link and check the original context before carrying a statement into engineering work.
NIST Directed Energy Deposition overview
- Useful for
- A first orientation to the DED process family and NIST's public measurement-science work.
- Does not prove
- Feasibility, process settings, qualification, or acceptance for a specific component.
ISO/ASTM 52900:2021 — Fundamentals and vocabulary
- Useful for
- Confirming the official document identity, edition, scope, and vocabulary reference to consult.
- Does not prove
- Access to the full standard, conformity with it, certification, or correct application to a project.
ASTM F3187 — Guide for Directed Energy Deposition of Metals
- Useful for
- Orienting readers to the guide's intended DED application, setup, operation, documentation, work-practice, and monitoring scope.
- Does not prove
- The full requirements of the guide, conformance, a qualified procedure, or part acceptance.
Directed Energy Deposition (DED) Process: State of the Art
- Useful for
- A structured research overview of DED processes, applications, and open research issues.
- Does not prove
- That a reviewed finding transfers to a particular machine, material, geometry, or acceptance case.
Laser metal deposition of lattice structures by columnar built-up
- Useful for
- The methods and results of one published LMD lattice experiment and Manish Sharma's public research record.
- Does not prove
- General production readiness, performance for other lattices or materials, qualification, or certification.
In-situ, Parallel Monitoring of Relative Temperature, Material Emission, and Laser Reflection in Powder-blown Directed Energy Deposition
- Useful for
- A concrete study of parallel relative-temperature, material-emission, and laser-reflection signals in powder-blown DED.
- Does not prove
- Defect state, finished-part quality, transferable control performance, or release from monitoring signals alone.
In-situ monitoring and deformation characterization by optical techniques; part I: Laser-aided direct metal deposition for additive manufacturing
- Useful for
- An overview of optical in-situ monitoring approaches and the measurement roles they can play in laser-aided direct metal deposition.
- Does not prove
- That one sensor, feature, or optical setup is sufficient for defect confirmation, quality assurance, or acceptance.
NIST AI Risk Management Framework
- Useful for
- A risk-management lens for designing, evaluating, using, and governing AI-enabled decision support.
- Does not prove
- Model accuracy, manufacturing fitness, regulatory compliance, safe deployment, or engineering approval.

Decision boundary
Preliminary decision-support only. Final feasibility depends on base material, geometry, service conditions, inspection requirements, and expert review.
