Additive manufacturing offers promising solutions to challenges in modern industries. Powder bed fusion with a laser beam for metals (PBF-LB/M) has reached high maturity, enabling decentralized, on-demand production of high-performance components that helps mitigate supply chain disruptions.A key advantage of PBF-LB/M is its exceptional design freedom, enabling the tool-less fabrication of complex geometries—such as topology-optimized lightweight designs or patient-specific medical implants—that cannot be realized with conventional methods. This reduces manufacturing...
