Course details

More about this course
  • Powder bed fusion uses electron beams or lasers to melt and fuse material powder together
  • Laser powder bed fusion technology (LPBF) works very well with metals, allowing manufacturers to accurately produce parts with complex shapes
  • This three-week course will give you an overview of these process parameters when using lasers, and how to optimise them when investigating new materials
  • Delving into melt pool formation, you'll learn what happens at the macro-, meso-, and micro-levels
  • You'll cover basic processes, factors influencing melt pool formation, and keyhole and conduction melt modes to help further your knowledge of metal additive manufacturing
  • After developing a good grounding in LPBF 3D printing basics, you'll unpack the different parameters that influence the process and products, including environmental and material considerations
  • Finally, you'll look at optimisation strategies for down- and up-facing surfaces, and at parameter optimisation for new materials
