Direct laser sintering of stainless steel : thermal experiments and numerical modelling

SLS is a commercial solid freeform fabrication process. Layers of powder material are bonded by a laser beam to rapidly manufacture three dimensional freeform models. In this work, the direct SLS of room temperature single-phase steel powder beds is researched. Two approaches are adopted: - Experime...
