For this reason, few structural components for aviation have been established so far. In this paper, a feasibility study for the use of laser metal deposition (LMD) for the additive manufacturing of a fuselage made of aluminum is carried out. The result is a parameter set with a minimized energy input. However, due to a welding length of 58 m the overall energy input is high and large distortion arises.en2212-82712018136139Elsevierhttps://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-nc-nd/4.0/laser metal depositionadditive manufacturingaluminumbionicaerospaceIngenieurwissenschaftenConference Paperurn:nbn:de:gbv:830-882.03051310.15480/882.218110.1016/j.procir.2018.08.06310.15480/882.2181Conference Paper
