    Additive Manufacturing technology is rapidly gaining traction in many manufacturing applications due to its process parameters control and wide range of applications. There are other AM technologies accessible, however Direct energy deposition (DED) is a critical approach in metal matrix additive manufacturing. The significant two mechanical properties tensile strength and hardness of additively created Al-12Si Aluminum alloy by DED process and pressure die casted Al-12Si components are compared in this study. The strength and modulus of the DED and PDC manufactured components were identical if the load direction in the UTM machine was the same as the construction directions, however other mechanical parameters differed slightly. Mechanical qualities of fabricated products made from reused powders were also comparable to those made from unused powder.
