ABSTRACT:
A customizable ion fusion formation system and method is used to repair a targeted repair region of a workpiece with successive layers of feedstock material. The system includes a moveable positioning platform and a control platform positioned separate and apart from the moveable positioning platform. A positioning arm is mounted to the moveable positioning platform and has a deposition head, including a plasma torch and a feedstock feeder mounted thereto. The deposition head is positioned relative to the targeted repair region by positioning and repositioning the moveable positioning platform, and thus the positioning arm, thereby providing customizable repair. A plurality of control components positioned on the control platform are programmable to control the positioning arm whereby a plurality of customizable control parameters are input into the control components and provide positioning and repositioning of the positioning arm to align the deposition head relative to the predetermined targeted repair region to repair the workpiece in the predetermined targeted region.
