A spiral laser scanning routine for powder bed fusion inspired by natural predator-prey behaviour

A spiral laser scanning routine for powder bed fusion inspired by natural predator-prey behaviour

Additive manufacturing by laser powder bed fusion (LPBF) requires process parameters that consider both local and global thermal gradients to address material and component quality issues caused by non-uniform heating and cooling. Here, we develop an analogy between natural predator-prey behaviour a...
