Reducing porosity in AlSi10Mg parts processed by selective laser melting (2014)
Journal Article

Selective laser melting (SLM) is widely gaining popularity as an alternative manufacturing technique for complex and customized parts. SLM is a near net shape process with minimal post processing machining required dependent upon final application. T...

Aging behavior of thermoplastic elastomers in the laser sintering process (2014)
Journal Article

It is known that polymers used in laser sintering (LS) change their intrinsic properties due to processing conditions that are close to the crystalline melting temperature. This paper evaluates the aging behavior of a thermoplastic polyurethane powde... Read More about Aging behavior of thermoplastic elastomers in the laser sintering process.

Effect of the build orientation on the mechanical properties and fracture modes of SLM Ti–6Al–4V (2014)
Journal Article

Recent research on the additive manufacturing (AM) of Ti alloys has shown that the mechanical properties of the parts are affected by the characteristic microstructure that originates from the AM process. To understand the effect of the microstructur... Read More about Effect of the build orientation on the mechanical properties and fracture modes of SLM Ti–6Al–4V.

An experimental study into the effects of bulk and flow behaviour of laser sintering polymer powders on resulting part properties (2014)
Journal Article

The properties of parts manufactured by laser sintering (LS) are, amongst others, influenced by the packing and flow efficiencies of the powders being processed. In particular, this study investigated the influence of the bulk and flow characteris...

The formation of α + β microstructure in as-fabricated selective laser melting of Ti–6Al–4V (2014)
Journal Article

Ti-6Al-4V parts made by the additive manufacturing (AM) technique selective laser melting (SLM) generally show poor ductility due to their fine martensitic microstructure. This study was designed to assess whether a more suitable microstructure can b... Read More about The formation of α + β microstructure in as-fabricated selective laser melting of Ti–6Al–4V.

On the texture formation of selective laser melted Ti-6Al-4V (2014)
Journal Article

Selective laser melting (SLM) has been shown to be an attractive manufacturing route for the production of α/β titanium alloys. The relationship between the SLM process parameters and the microstructure of titanium alloys has been the object of sever...
