Abstract: An assembly and related method of wire laser deposition includes a splitting mirror presenting a plurality of reflective surfaces being distinct from one another. A laser beam is directed towards and reflected off the reflective surfaces and into a plurality of split beam segments traveling radially outwardly from the splitting mirror. A plurality of redirecting mirrors are each disposed in aligned relationship with a respective one of the split segments to redirect and shape each respective beam segment into a shaped beam segment extending towards a focus plane PF. The shaped beam segments extend in circumferentially spaced relationship to one another and are collectively reassembled into a ring shaped beam having a center. A material wire is fed between an adjacent pair of shaped beam segments and through the center of the ring shaped beam for disposing the material wire perpendicular to a base substrate for processing.
