Selective laser melting (SLM) is one of the most interesting technologies used in rapid
prototyping processes because of the possibility of building complex three-dimensional …

Selective Laser Melting (SLM) is becoming very diffused in layer manufacturing processes
because of the possibility to build complex 3D parts. The process is mainly suited for the …

The selective laser melting process (SLM), belonging to the family of additive manufacturing
processes, can create complex geometry parts from a CAD file. Previously, only prototypes …

The occurrence of residual stresses in selective laser melting (SLM) presents challenges
that limit the capability of the process to manufacture parts at industrial scale. These stresses …

Abstract During the Selective Laser Melting (SLM) process, the scanned layers are
subjected to rapid thermal cycles. Steep temperature gradients generate residual stresses …

Purpose Residual stresses are induced during selective laser melting (SLM) because of
rapid melting, solidification and build plate removal. This paper aims to examine the thermal …
