Melting-Process-Condition Variations-Aware Control of the Laser-Powder Bed Fusion of Metals
Laser-powder bed fusion of metals (PBF-LB/M), also known as selective laser melting (SLM), enables the production of geometrically complex and high-performance metal parts, such as medical implants, nature-inspired structures, and aircraft structural elements. In PBF-LB/M, the laser beam melts metal powder layer after layer, resulting in a solidified metal bulk piece and/or lattice structure. PBF-LB/M supports sustainability through light-weighting, easing supply chain constraints, and enables a high level of product customization. However, the PBF-LB/M process is limited by process condition variations, which often cause defects and quality variations in the printed parts. For example, due…
