... fabricated using laser powered powder bed-based additive manufacturing (AM) technologies. These technologies include selective laser sintering (SLS), direct metal laser sintering (DMLS) and selective laser melting (SLM) (Revilla-León et al., 2019). Among laser powder bed fusion (LPBF) technologies...

... manufactured part. The purpose of this paper is to present an investigation into minimizing the residual surface roughness of direct metal laser sintering (DMLS) samples by manipulating the input process parameters. Design/methodology/approach First, the ability to manipulate surface roughness by modifying...

... to the microstructure, an area which has not previously been reported in full detail and which may offer information to a designer. Direct metal laser sintering (DMLS) is an additive manufacturing technique that directly manufactures three-dimensional parts, layer-by-layer, to scan and melt metal powders for aerospace...

... Fracture toughness Direct metal laser sintering Steel alloy Tensile behaviour Stainless steels are widely used as feed powder materials within selective laser melting (SLM) due to their comparatively low cost, their safety and their ease of use. 316L stainless steel is a common alloy that is used...

... process, and the final customised implant was designed using Creo software. The final, surgically implanted BOI was fabricated using direct metal laser sintering in titanium (Ti-64). Findings The current approach assisted us to design BOI customised to the patient’s unique anatomy to improve patient...
