Abstract:While conventional die manufacturing techniques often lead to limitations in production speed and design intricacy due to labour-intensive procedures like machining and casting, Additive Manufacturing (AM) emerges as a key player offering substantial potential for cost reduction and process improvement in mass production. This study benchmarks four leading Laser Powder Bed Fusion (L-PBF) systems for producing maraging steel (EN 1.2709) dies. Despite the shared material and technology, variations in dimensional… Show more
