The use of a Rapid‐Powder‐Switch (RPS) during laser metal deposition leads to powder savings of up to fifty percent: With a short switching cycle of less than 200 ms, the powder is immediately available between processing cycles. Thus, surfaces can be coated precisely and only where required – efficient and resource‐conserving.
