Investigation on Optical Absorption and Reflection of Carbon Nanotubes Mixed Copper Composites for Laser Sintering Process Improvement

Selective laser sintering (SLS) of copper components manufactured via powder metallurgy is widely studied due to minimal material wastage. However, copper has poor optical absorption when exposed to infrared (IR) lasers, such as in laser-based additive manufacturing or laser surface processing. To a...
