Working principles of Laser-based MMAM technology and printed macro and micro-scale components（more details about contents and references can be found in the paper）

Caption

Laser metal deposition (LMD), laser-based powder bed fusion (L-PBF) and laser-induced forward transfer (LIFT) have the capability to fabricate multiple metallic materials. The scale of samples for each technology is presented in the figure. The dimensions of LMD and LPBF printed samples can be as large as meter-scale. Meanwhile, the LIFT process can produce micrometre-scale components.
