Laser additive manufacturing of metallic components: materials, processes and mechanisms
TL;DR: Additive manufacturing implies layer by layer shaping and consolidation of powder feedstock to arbitrary configurations, normally using a computer controlled laser as discussed by the authors, which is based on a novel materials incremental manufacturing philosophy.

Fine-structured aluminium products with controllable texture by selective laser melting of pre-alloyed AlSi10Mg powder
TL;DR: In this paper, the high thermal gradients occurring during SLM lead to a very fine microstructure with submicron-sized cells, which can be modified to a weak cube texture along the building and scanning directions when a rotation of 90° of the scanning vectors within or between the layers is applied.

Consolidation phenomena in laser and powder-bed based layered manufacturing
TL;DR: In this article, the authors describe which types of laser-induced consolidation can be applied to what type of material, and demonstrate that although SLS/SLM can process polymers, metals, ceramics and composites, quite some limitations and problems cause the palette of applicable materials still to be limited.
Selective laser melting of biocompatible metals for rapid manufacturing of medical parts
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors investigated the possibility of producing medical or dental parts by selective laser melting (SLM) and developed a procedure to fabricate frameworks for complex dental prostheses.
