Cover Story: Wire-laser-directed energy deposition (W-LDED) has emerged as a transformative method in metallic part fabrication. By utilizing wire feedstock, W-LDED addresses major drawbacks of powder-based processes, providing higher deposition rates, lower material costs, and minimized contamination risks. This review paper examines the current state of W-LDED, focusing on process variables affecting the stability and quality of the fabricated parts. It also evaluates challenges such as parameter selection and process control, proposing potential solutions contributing to advancing W-LDED technology for industrial applications. By reviewing the existing modeling and monitoring literature, this work aims to enhance the fabrication process, reducing trial-and-error experiments and ultimately improving the competitiveness of W-LDED in various manufacturing sectors.
