Distortion Prediction in Inconel-718 Part Fabricated through LPBF by Using Homogenized Support Properties from Experiments and Numerical Simulation

The Laser Powder-Bed Fusion (LPBF) process produces complex part geometry by selectively sintering powder metal layer upon layer. During the LPBF process, parts experience the challenge of residual stress, distortions, and print failures. Lattice-based structures are used to support overhang parts a...
