Laser Additive Manufacturing Processes for Near Net Shape Components

  • Chapter
  • First Online:
Book cover Near Net Shape Manufacturing Processes

Part of the book series: Materials Forming, Machining and Tribology ((MFMT))

Abstract

Laser -based additive manufacturing is a group of manufacturing processes widely used to produce three-dimensional near net shape components. Lasers can provide localized and controllable amounts of energy with the aim to cure a liquid photopolymer , to sinter or melt powders of different nature or even to cut laminates in order to obtain a physical model in the macro- or microscale. This work provides an overview on some major near net-shape manufacturing processes based on laser. Influence of the processing parameters, materials suitable for each one, and main advantages and current limitations of these techniques are reviewed for readers to understand and undertake research to establish the field further.
