LMD Repairability Index
A practical way to think about whether an industrial part may be suitable for Laser Metal Deposition repair.
Preliminary decision-support only. Final feasibility depends on base material, geometry, service conditions, inspection requirements, and expert review.
Scoring categories
Repairability is not one variable
Material compatibility
Damage geometry
Access to repair zone
Heat sensitivity and distortion risk
Post-machining allowance
Required properties
Inspection feasibility
Replacement cost
Downtime cost
Criticality and risk
