... selective laser melting (SLM). Determining a feasible set of operating parameters for SLM of nickel-based superalloys involves new approach to experimental design based on the Doehlert method that assists in determining an optimal (feasible) set of operating parameters for SLM of IN-738 LC powder alloy...

... that for several types of material with the proper choice of input parameters, the SLM technology is able to produce parts with mechanical properties closely resembling parts manufactured by conventional methods. Using experimental design approach, it is important to conduct as few experiments as possible...
