Additive manufacturing (AM) has developed rapidly since its inception in the 1980s. AM is
perceived as an environmentally friendly and sustainable technology and has already …

SLM (Selective Laser Melting) is a unique additive manufacturing technology which plays an
irreplaceable role in the modern industrial revolution. 3D printers can directly process metal …

Metal additive manufacturing (MAM) of complex parts with overhangs typically requires the
use of sacrificial support structures to hold the part during the process. This structures which …

This study investigates the feasibility of a novel concept, contact-free support structures, for
part overhangs in powder-bed metal additive manufacturing. The intent is to develop …

The aim of this study is to identify the limitations of self-supporting structures and evaluate
the deformations associated with overhang structures fabricated without support structures …

Additive Manufacturing (AM) users rely on experiments and experience to predict the
performance of AM processes. This trial and error approach for qualifying AM parts takes …

Along with the increased application of additive manufacturing (AM) in the aerospace
industry, a better understanding of different aspects for the technique has become necessary …

Support structures are critical to the successful printing of the overhang structures in
selective laser melting. The heat transfer performance of support structures has significant …

This study aims to investigate the manufacturability of overhang round holes with and
without support. The experiments were conducted by electron beam melting (EBM) using a …

Additive manufacturing technology has been rapidly developed and increasingly popular
nowadays; its applications spread to almost every corner in our lives. However, when …
