Additive Manufacturing Of Metals: The Technolog... < ESSENTIAL | 2027 >

Uses a high-power laser to selectively melt layers of metal powder. It is known for producing high-precision, dense parts but often requires time-consuming post-processing.

Parts may suffer from defects such as anisotropy, micro-porosity, gas entrapment, or residual stresses. Advantages and Limitations Extreme design freedom and customization High initial equipment and production costs Significant reduction in material waste and scrap Additive Manufacturing of Metals: The Technolog...
