This model obtains as output both the overlapped clad geometry and the dilution area of the coating at different input parameters and defines the strategy of multi-layer structures. The results of this work validate the model that comes in handy: a) To understand the influence of each parameter and the single clad geometry when fabricating coatings and structures; b) To select the parameters depending on the requirements of the coating like effective thickness and dilution; c) To detect lack of fusion with the substrate due to an excessive overlap percentage; d) To select the deposition strategy and the tool path for additive manufacturing; e) To select the subsequent machining strategy based on the predicted geometry of the model.
