... (indicating possible oxidization), material vaporization and spatter generation increased. The samples processed at increased pulse durations increased in width due to more time being given for heat to conduct out radially from the centre of the melt pool.

..., where angles between 90 and 270° are considered down‐facing. Design for assembly Process planning Surface texture Approximation theory Rapid prototypes The SL process planning problem can be formulated as a least‐squares fitting problem, in a similar manner to formulations in inverse...

.... Additionally, in each experiment, 20 layers of paper were set on the platform before starting the process. This results in obtaining the desirable temperature of the surface. In addition, chamfer temperature was kept constant. © Emerald Group Publishing Limited 2007 Surface texture Taguchi...
