Direct Laser Metal Deposition (DLMD) is a modern shaping technology with great potential for application in key industries. There are many factors that affect the quality of the formed layer, among which the process parameters have a significant impact. This paper investigated the influence of process parameters, including laser power (P), powder feed rate (Mp), and scanning speed (V), on the geometric characteristics of the single track, such as height (h), width (Wc), and depth (hmix), when using the DLMD technology on 316L material. The results showed that: The laser power has the greatest impact on the width of the single track (45.97%) and the depth of the single track (42.05%). Meanwhile, the powder feed rate has the greatest influence on the height of the single track (58.44%).
