Laser spot size and scaling laws for laser beam additive manufacturing

Jordan S. Weaver et al.

Summary: Laser powder bed fusion (L-PBF) additive manufacturing requires careful selection of laser process parameters. Scaling laws based on laser power, speed, spot size, melt pool geometry, and thermophysical properties can reduce the effort by transferring knowledge from one material and/or laser system to another. Laser spot size is a critical parameter that has been less studied for scaling laws compared to laser power and scan speed.

Analysis of an as-built metal additively manufactured tool cavity insert performance and advantages for plastic injection moulding

Mandana Moshiri et al.

Summary: This study analyzed the possibilities and limitations of metal additive manufacturing in plastic injection molding tool applications, showing the potential to limit post-processes and the opportunities for insert production. The results demonstrated that the surface texture of the built cavity with MAM was comparable to that of electrical discharge machining, achieving a replication fidelity higher than 95% in plastic injection molded samples.

A fundamental investigation of thermo-capillarity in laser powder bed fusion of metals and alloys

Mohamad Bayat et al.

Summary: This study utilizes a multi-physics numerical model to investigate the effects of thermo-capillarity on the melt pool morphology and thermal fluid conditions during the Laser Powder Bed Fusion process. The results demonstrate that higher Marangoni numbers lead to decreased temperature gradients and more uniform temperature fields in the melt pool. Additionally, a novel methodology is introduced for calculating the melt pool's average Nusselt number, which can be used to simplify heat conduction simulations with effective liquid conductivity.

Effects of spreader geometry on powder spreading process in powder bed additive manufacturing

Lin Wang et al.

Summary: The powder spreading process involves using different types of spreaders to impact the density and uniformity of powder layer deposition. Blade spreaders with round and inclined surfaces create denser powder layers compared to vertical blades, but exert greater forces on the underlying part. Roller systems lead to sparse and uneven powder layers with small gaps between layers. Size segregation is less severe in blade systems compared to roller systems.
