Puddle forming and shaping with primary and secondary lasers
A material processing system for a base material is provided. The system includes a feeder having a distal end proximate to a surface location of the base material. The feeder supplies a deposit material to the surface location. The deposit material has a width having a first side and a second side. A first laser is directed to the deposit material at the surface location. The first laser is directed across the width from the first side to the second side. A second laser is directed to a desired location within the width. A control system drives the process of cladding the deposit material. The control system includes a shape controller to control the movement of the secondary laser along the deposit material based on feedback from a sensor.
