Towards supportless laser powder bed fusion: fundamental understanding of the formation of 1st layer overhang through parameter optimisation and in-situ high-speed thermal imaging
One of the most revolutionary aspects of Laser Powder Bed Fusion (LPBF) is to be able to lift the design constraints from conventional manufacturing. However, as a rule of thumb, any surfaces lower than 45° with respect to the horizontal plane would still require sacrificial supports in order to com...
