Optimization of the gas flow system in a selective laser melting chamber using numerical methods

A well-designed flow field is a key factor to improve the surface quality of products by removing spatter, which is often generated during the selective laser melting (SLM) process. In the present study, three typical schemes are developed for the gas flow system of large-scale SLM equipment. In thi...
