Abstract
Improving the quality of metals in additive manufacturing is of great interest currently. To date, there has been almost no research on the creation of monolithic workpieces by layer-by-layer plasma metallization. The present study shows that a uniform distribution of molten material over the workpiece surface may be obtained. A model is proposed for drop formation and separation in different plasmatron configurations.
