Novel Multi-Beam Processing System for Laser Additive Manufacturing

By Rahul Patwa, Hans Herfurth and Jyoti Mazumder Additive manufacturing (AM) processes (also commonly referred to as 3D printing) allows the layer-by-layer build-up of parts rather than through molding or subtractive techniques such as machining. The idea that AM machines can print 3D objects much the same way that inkjet printer creates 2D images on […]
