The article is devoted to the study of the effect of the curvature of the receiving surface on the geometric parameters of a single deposited layer during additive shaping by an electric arc in a protective gas medium. Based on theoretical studies, a mathematical dependence has been established for calculating the height of a single deposited layer, taking into account the shape of the receiving surface. The theoretical regularity of the change in the height of a single deposited layer from the curvature of the receiving surface is established. To confirm the obtained theoretical dependence, a series of experiments were planned and carried out, according to the results of which, on the basis of dispersion analysis, the influence of the curvature of the receiving surface on the geometrically parameters of a single deposited layer was established.
