What is Influence of Printing Parameters on Structures, Mechanical Properties and Surface Characterization of Aluminium Alloy Manufactured Using Selective Laser Melting about?

The selective laser melting (SLM) technology, a 3D printing method, has been gaining more attraction recently due to its ability to fabricate highly complex and intricate featured medical, aerospace, automotive components. The extensive use of SLM in recent years has been augmented by readily available processing materials and distinct product features such as enhanced surface properties and improved mechanical strength of the printed products. This paper investigated the effects of support structures, building direction and post-processing on mechanical properties, surface roughness and microscopic analysis of parts printed by SLM. Support structures are required during the SLM printing process. It is desired to optimize the support structures, as this increases printing time and material consumption and reduces surface finish. Finite element analysis has been carried out prior to metal printing to optimize the support structure. It was found that the spider-cone line support shows efficient structure for this study. The mechanical properties of the fabricated specimen were studied, and experimental results were validated and compared with conventionally machined specimen. It was
