The laser cladding process is based on the generation of a melt-pool in a substrate where a filler material is injected, generating high quality layers with a minimum heat affected zone. This process is industrially used to generate 3D parts, being a sustainable alternative to traditional machining. One of the most important aspects for its industrial application is to know the clad geometry in order to calculate the deposited layer thickness. This work presents a model in which, starting from the concentration of injected material, real energy distribution and the melt-pool geometry, clad height is estimated. All input variables are obtained by three previous validated models.
