Design Process Control for Improved Surface Finish of Metal Additive Manufactured Parts of Complex Build Geometry

Metal additive manufacturing (AM) is increasingly used to create complex 3D components at near net shape. However, the surface finish (SF) of the metal AM part is uneven, with surface roughness being variable over the facets of the design. Standard post-processing methods such as grinding and linish...
