Selective laser sintering (SLS) / melting (SLM) is a manufacturing technique which holds a very special place in the layer manufacturing process due to its widest range of material processing capability which no other technique can offer. It can process metals, rubber, composites, polymers and ceramics etc. As laser sintering technique is emerging as an advanced manufacturing technique, it is importance to study the phenomenon which affect the fabrication process, hence a study is undertaken to simulate the physical phenomenon such as laser absorption and Marangoni effect. By studying these phenomena, a much better control of the physical processes is possible during the laser sintering process of commercially pure titanium grade 2.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
