Modeling Heat Transfer and Densification during Laser Sintering of Viscoelastic Polymers
Laser sintering (LS) is an additive manufacturing process which uses laser surface heating to induce consolidation of powdered materials. This work investigates some of the process-structure-property relationships for LS of viscoelastic polymers. A one-dimensional closed-form analytical solution f...
