Marc Saunders, Director of AM Applications at Renishaw, explains how to find the ideal process parameters for your metal additive manufactured (AM) parts. This article looks at the factors that drive the selection of Laser powder bed fusion (LPBF) processing parameters, and how these define an ‘operating window' in which we must work. We will also look at the sensitivity of the process to changes in part geometry that may drive us towards application-specific parameter choices.
Everyone is excited about the possibilities afforded by 3D printing right now. The ability to produce complex and even customised components directly from a CAD file without any need for expensive tooling is really attractive. And yet whilst additive ma
