Example
Example package: LMD repair
Part goalRestore local geometry on a valuable component without defaulting too early to replacement.
Known dataPhotos of the damage zone, approximate dimensions, function, downtime pressure and any drawing already available.
Missing dataConfirm base material, check cracking, define target geometry and agree acceptance criteria.
Useful files / photosOverview photos, detail photos, drawing or CAD, material information and a marked damage zone.
Inspection expectationDimensional review, surface review and project-dependent crack or cross-section inspection.
What Exafuse can review firstWhether a local LMD route is technically more useful than replacement, welding or remanufacture.
What remains openMaterial compatibility, access, finishing, remaining service logic and release stay project-specific.
Example
Example package: laser cladding
Part goalSpecify a metallurgically bonded protective layer for a wear- or corrosion-critical zone.
Known dataSubstrate, failure mode, medium, temperature, contact type and affected surface.
Missing dataTarget layer, material family, preheating constraints, finishing route and inspection scope.
Useful files / photosPart photos, wear images, drawing, coating zone, service environment and preferred final surface.
Inspection expectationGeometry, layer appearance, crack review or metallographic context depending on part risk.
What Exafuse can review firstWhich material family and thermal route are plausible for the failure mechanism.
What remains openExact alloy, process window, post-processing and acceptance should only be fixed after technical review.
Example
Example package: large LMD build
Part goalAssess a large metal component or structural node for an LMD / DED-LB/M route.
Known dataCAD, envelope, approximate mass, function, interfaces and intended material.
Missing dataManufacturing adaptation, deposition strategy, finishing allowance, fixturing logic and validation plan.
Useful files / photos3D model, drawings, interfaces, load or function description and critical surfaces.
Inspection expectationDimensional accuracy, surfaces, post-processing and project-specific inspection or acceptance criteria.
What Exafuse can review firstWhether LMD, SLM, hybrid manufacturing or a conventional route is more robust.
What remains openNot every geometry is additive-ready; design adaptation and the inspection path must be planned together.
Example
Example package: SLM / LPBF compact part
Part goalEvaluate a compact metal part with fine detail, internal channels or powder-bed-native geometry.
Known dataCAD, material request, part size, quantity, functional surfaces and timing.
Missing dataBuild orientation, supports, heat treatment, post-processing and inspection requirements.
Useful files / photosSTEP file, drawing, critical internal geometry, tolerances and desired surfaces.
Inspection expectationDimensional review, surface review and, depending on application, density, CT or other inspection logic.
What Exafuse can review firstWhether SLM / LPBF, LMD or a hybrid route solves the task more cleanly.
What remains openCompact detail can favor SLM, but material, supports, finish and release still decide the route.
