      abstract     = {Despite high quality requirements for the complex
                      manufacturing processes in mechanical engineering, tool
                      making, or aeroengine technology, manufacturing deviations
                      in the production of new parts cannot be avoided. Likewise,
                      the often high-priced components are subject to wear and
                      tear over the course of their life cycle, which means that
                      they can no longer be used as intended. This has a negative
                      impact on the life cycle costs of the affected products, as
                      in addition to the high costs of the components themselves,
                      follow-up costs due to new procurement, loss of production
                      and contractually agreed availability must be considered.
                      Due to long product life cycles, components and spare parts
                      must be available on the market decades after they have been
                      put into service. The resulting need for repair procedures
                      for every phase of the product life cycle represents a
                      challenge for manufacturing and service companies. One
                      possible method to address manufacturing deviations and wear
                      is laser deposition welding (directed energy deposition with
                      a laser beam on metallic materials, DEDLB/M). So far,
                      DED-LB/M has been used as a repair process only for areas of
                      components that are accessible with the available system
                      technology, and where the material properties are not
                      significantly deteriorated by the DED-LB/M process, thereby
                      ensuring the component’s functionality. Manufacturing
                      deviations and wear often occur in areas of components that
                      are inaccessible with the available DED-LB/M system
                      technology, requiring access to be created for repair. This
                      approach can be compared to the surgical techniques prior to
                      the introduction of minimally invasive surgery, which led to
                      the widespread use of endoscopes and the miniaturization of
                      surgical instruments. Therefore, the aim of this work is to
                      investigate how a minimally invasive application of
                      crack-free coatings within Alloy 718 components, with access
                      openings (height ≤ 50 mm, width ≤ 10 mm), and the
                      minimally invasive, laser-based functionalization for
                      precipitation hardening of the coated area can be achieved
                      using the required system technology for industrial
                      applications. This procedural combination offers untapped
                      potential for the repair of components in the tool, machine,
                      and engine building industries. The necessary system
                      technology is designed, assembled, and tested. Additionally,
                      a process development is carried out. The static mechanical
                      properties of the applied and functionalized material are
                      determined through tensile tests, and the resulting
                      microstructure is metallographically analyzed. As part of an
                      application demonstration, a minimally invasive
                      reconstruction within a cavity of a structural engine
                      component is realized, followed by the functionalization of
                      the applied material.},
