Title: Additive manufacturing

Abstract

A nanofluid laser entrainment additive manufacturing apparatus, system and method including a substrate, a dilute nanofluid of inert gas suspended nanoparticles on the substrate, a focused energy beam that irradiates the nanoparticles to selectively melt the nanoparticles, and a raster system that raster scans the focused energy beam across the inert gas suspended nanoparticles to create predetermined shapes by additive manufacturing.
