Benchmarking of Laser Powder Bed Fusion Machines

Benchmarking of Laser Powder Bed Fusion Machines

This paper presents the methodology and results of an extensive benchmarking of laser powder bed fusion (LPBF) machines conducted across five top machine producers and two end users. The objective was to understand the influence of the individual machine on the final quality of predesigned specimens...

The objective was to understand the influence of the individual machine on the final quality of predesigned specimens, given a specific material and from multiple perspectives, in order to assess the current capabilities and limitations of the technology and compare them with the capabilities of an 11-year-old machine belonging to one of the end users participating in this investigation. The collected results give a clear representation of the status of LPBF technology considering its maturity in terms of process capabilities and potential applications in a production environment.https://www.mdpi.com/2504-4494/3/4/85additive manufacturinglaser powder bed fusionselective laser meltingbenchmarkingtechnology evaluationaccuracyrepeatability
