Article Synopsis
- Laser powder bed fusion (LPBF) allows for the creation of complex metal structures but struggles with slow production rates compared to traditional manufacturing methods.
- To be suitable for mass production, LPBF needs a new scalable design that significantly increases deposition rates while preserving the flexibility of additive manufacturing.
- This article examines strategies for enhancing LPBF efficiency, including innovative laser arrangements and scanning techniques, with a focus on improving production rates for electric vehicle components.
The potential for site-specific, process-parameter control is an attribute of additive manufacturing (AM) that makes it highly attractive as a manufacturing process. The research interest in the functionally grading material properties of numerous AM processes has been high for years. However, one of the issues that slows developmental progress in this area is process planning.
