Journal ArticleDOI
Reducing porosity in AlSi10Mg parts processed by selective laser melting
TL;DR: In this article, the windows of parameters required to produce high density parts from AlSi10Mg alloy using selective laser melting were investigated and a compromise between the different parameters and scan strategies was achieved and used to produce parts achieving a density of 99.8%.
Journal ArticleDOI
3D printing of Aluminium alloys: Additive Manufacturing of Aluminium alloys using selective laser melting
Nesma T. Aboulkhair,Marco Simonelli,Luke Parry,Ian Ashcroft,Christopher Tuck,Richard J.M. Hague +5 more
TL;DR: A comprehensive understanding of the interrelation between the various aspects of the subject, as this is essential to demonstrate credibility for industrial needs, is presented in this paper, which highlights some key topics requiring attention for further progression.
Journal ArticleDOI
Effect of the build orientation on the mechanical properties and fracture modes of SLM Ti–6Al–4V
TL;DR: In this paper, the effect of the microstructure on the tensile properties of additive manufacturing (AM) of Ti alloys has been investigated. And the authors found that the mechanical anisotropy of the parts was discussed in relation to the crystallographic texture, phase composition and the predominant fracture mechanisms.
Journal ArticleDOI
Laser sintering of polyamides and other polymers
TL;DR: In this article, the authors present a review of the factors that need to be considered when selecting and processing polymers and the research that has been carried out to date, focussing on laser sintering, which is one of the most widely used additive manufacturing approaches.
Journal ArticleDOI
The cost of additive manufacturing: machine productivity, economies of scale and technology-push
TL;DR: A model of production cost for two different Additive Manufacturing systems used commercially for the manufacture of end-use metal parts is constructed, suggesting that the observed deposition rates are not sufficient for the adoption of EBM and DMLS in high volume manufacturing applications.
