Improving additive manufacturing processability of hard-to-process overhanging structure by selective laser melting (2017, background): “In theory, any complex parts can be manufactured by SLM, however in practical, not all geometrical features can be perfectly fabricated (Gan and Wong, 2016).”
Investigation of the accuracy and roughness in the laser powder bed fusion process (2018, methodology): “Once the 3D model is converted to an STL file, this is imported into the specific software of AM to verify to be error-free and choose the building orientation and adding support structures (Hussein et al. 2013, Calignano 2014, Gan and Wong 2016, Li et al. 2017).”
Additive Manufacturing: A Comprehensive Review (2024, background): “Furthermore, the build chamber must be filled with inert gas [78].”
Support Structures for Additive Manufacturing: A Review (2018, background): “[70] explored “Y”, “IY” and Pin support structures to help design practical supports for thin plates and cuboids, based on SLM.”
