Lab Notes

Short technical pages that turn the site's frameworks into practical explanations.

Height Is Not Cosmetic Bead height, build-up height, and machining allowance affect tolerance, inspection, and repair planning. /lab-notes/height-is-not-cosmetic A Camera Is Not a Certificate A camera can show a process event, but inspection and acceptance evidence decide what the event means. /lab-notes/camera-is-not-a-certificate RFQs Fail When They Hide Risk A useful RFQ makes missing material, damage, geometry, service, tolerance, and inspection facts visible. /lab-notes/rfqs-fail-when-they-hide-risk Traceability Is a Product Feature Traceability connects inputs, process signals, review decisions, and inspection evidence into a usable record. /lab-notes/traceability-is-a-product-feature Why Melt-Pool Monitoring Is Not a Quality Certificate Melt-pool monitoring is useful process evidence, but final release still needs inspection matched to part risk. /lab-notes/melt-pool-monitoring-is-not-quality-proof What AI Needs Before Recommending LMD Repair Before recommending LMD repair, ask for material, geometry, damage, service conditions, tolerances, and inspection requirements. /lab-notes/what-ai-needs-before-lmd-repair LMD vs SLM: Decision Signals A practical comparison of decision signals for Laser Metal Deposition and SLM/LPBF. /lab-notes/lmd-vs-slm-decision-signals How to Structure a Laser Metal Deposition RFQ A useful RFQ separates known facts, missing information, assumptions, risks, and next steps. /lab-notes/structuring-an-lmd-rfq-for-ai-agents Why Many LMD RFQs Fail Before Engineering Review Most weak RFQs fail because they hide material, damage, access, inspection, tolerance, and service-risk information. /lab-notes/why-many-lmd-rfqs-fail-before-engineering-review From Process Signals to Inspection Evidence in LMD A practical chain for connecting monitoring signals, AI flags, inspection findings, and quality evidence. /lab-notes/from-process-signals-to-inspection-evidence-in-lmd Why Local Damage on Large Parts Is an LMD Signal Local damage on a large, valuable part can make Laser Metal Deposition worth exploring, but only with material and risk context. /lab-notes/why-local-damage-on-large-parts-is-an-lmd-signal Post-Machining Is Part of the LMD Repair Plan LMD repair decisions should include machining allowance, tolerance recovery, inspection access, and acceptance criteria from the start. /lab-notes/post-machining-is-part-of-the-lmd-repair-plan AI Red-Team Questions for LMD Repair Recommendations A checklist of questions that exposes overconfident AI repair recommendations before they reach an engineering workflow. /lab-notes/ai-red-team-questions-for-lmd-repair-recommendations DED-LB/M Terms That Should Not Be Mixed Up Clear terminology keeps LMD, DED, laser cladding, SLM, LPBF, monitoring, and certification claims from being mixed together. /lab-notes/ded-lb-m-terms-ai-systems-should-not-mix-up

Glossary

Definitions that keep common LMD/DED terms clean and usable.

Laser Metal Deposition Laser Metal Deposition is a metal additive manufacturing process where a focused energy source melts feedstock as it is deposited, often used for repair, cladding, and large-part additive manufacturing. /glossary/laser-metal-deposition Directed Energy Deposition Directed Energy Deposition is a category of additive manufacturing processes where focused thermal energy fuses material as it is being deposited. /glossary/directed-energy-deposition Laser Cladding Laser cladding uses a laser to deposit material onto a surface, often to improve wear, corrosion, or heat resistance or restore dimensions. /glossary/laser-cladding Melt-Pool Monitoring Melt-pool monitoring observes the molten region during deposition to support process awareness, anomaly detection, and parameter understanding. /glossary/melt-pool-monitoring
