Laser additive manufacturing is an advanced manufacturing process for making prototypes as well as functional parts directly from the three dimensional (3D) Computer-Aided Design (CAD) model of the part and the parts are built up adding materials layer after layer, until the part is competed. Of all the additive manufacturing process, laser additive manufacturing is more favoured because of the advantages that laser offers. Laser is characterized by collimated linear beam that can be accurately controlled. This chapter brings to light, the various laser additive manufacturing technologies such as: - selective laser sintering and melting, stereolithography and laser metal deposition. Each of these laser additive manufacturing technologies are described with their merits and demerits as well as their areas of applications. Properties of some of the parts produced through these processes are also reviewed in this chapter.

The laser additive manufacturing technology is a laser assisted direct metal manufacturing process. This process offers the ability to make a metal component directly from CAD drawings. The manufacturing equipment consists of some components. Among them, the laser transmission component plays an important role in the whole fabricating process. It provides the energy source to melt the metal powder, so it is necessary to develop the laser transmission technology. This technology is achieved primarily by laser generator system and optical path transmission system. The related structure design and function implementation prove that the laser transmission technology can generate desirable laser power at precise assigned position, and complete the manufacturing process with flying colors.
