Abstract: Multi-laser powder bed fusion (M-LPBF) systems are garnering increased attention in metal additive manufacturing as they promise increased productivity and part size without sacrificing feature resolution or mechanical ...

Abstract: The effect of substrate surface preheating on part distortion in laser cladding is investigated through the experimental results of laser deposited Ti–6Al–4V. In situ temperature and distortion measurements were used to ...

Abstract: Due to the repeated thermal cycling that occurs with the processing of each subsequent layer, the microstructure of additively manufactured parts undergoes complex changes throughout the deposition process. Understanding ...

Abstract: There has been continuing effort in developing analytical, numerical, and empirical models of laser-based additive manufacturing (AM) processes in the literature. However, advanced physics-based models that can be directly ...

Abstract: There is a need for the development of lumped-parameter models that can be used for real-time control design and optimization for laser-based additive manufacturing (AM) processes. Our prior work developed a physics-based ...
