view moreDirect Metal Laser Sintering (DMLS) is an additive manufacturing process. Parts are built using a laser to selectively sinter (heat and fuse) a powdered metal material into layers. The process begins once a 3D CAD file is mathematically sliced into multiple 2D cross sections and uploaded into the system.
view moreABSTRACT An analytical ray tracing model is developed to simulate the energy absorption and penetration during the selective laser sintering (SLS) of metal powders. The model is applied to a Fe-Cu powder mixture. It gives an evaluation of the energy absorption and penetration and an estimation of the sintering zone dimension.
