Process control and basic mechanisms in Multi-Material Laser Additive Manufacturing of Cu/Ni-alloy/Steel System KU Leuven
Currently, direct net shaping of metal parts is one of the hot topics in Laser Additive Manufacturing (LAM) with two main development directions: Laser Melting Deposition (LMD) and Selective Laser Melting (SLM). LMD is based on the laser powder feeding method, showing the superior capability in printing large-sized 3D parts, while its working accuracy of parts is relatively lower than the parts from SLM; SLM is based on the laser powder bed ...
