Recoater-Induced Distortions and Build Failures in Selective Laser Melting of Thin-Walled Ti6Al4V Parts

Additively manufactured thin-walled structures through selective laser melting (SLM) are of great interest in achieving carbon-neutral industrial manufacturing. However, residual stresses and warpages as well as recoater crashes often occur in SLM, leading to the build failure of parts, especially f...
