Laser Polishing of Additive Manufactured 316L Stainless Steel Synthesized by Selective Laser Melting

One of the established limitations of metal additive manufacturing (AM) methods, such as selective laser melting (SLM), is the resulting rough surface finish. Laser polishing is one method that can be used to achieve an improved surface finish on AM printed parts. This study is focused on the laser...
