Better Flaw Detection During Powder Bed Fusion - ASME
2024年1月11日 · Powder bed fusion divides the part geometry into a series of 2D layers. The printer spreads a thin layer of metal powder across the build plate, a laser traces the first layer of the 2D images, melts the metal powder, and fuses it to the build plate. Subsequently, the build plate descends, more powder is added, and the laser fuses the second layer.
