The Finite Element Modelling of Selective Laser Melting of Metals.
The Selective Laser Melting (SLM) is one of the Additive Manufacturing (AM) processes and it is more favoured over Selective Laser Sintering (SLS) because it can consolidate metal powders to a near full density (with relative density of more than 99%) and it can achieve a surface roughness of less than 20µm. However, the SLM process involves the...
