Development of new strategies for improving precision and mechanical performance of metal parts produced by laser powder bed fusion KU Leuven
At present, surface quality of metals parts produced by laser powder bed fusion is often limited and hence time- and cost-expensive post-processing is required in many cases. This limits the breakthrough of Additive Manufacturing for a variety of applications. This PhD research aims to address this by developing new strategies for improved precision of metal parts produced by laser powder bed fusion (LPBF). On the one hand, in-depth process ...
