Laser powder bed fusion (LPBF) is one of the most commonly used metal 3D printing processes. The process can deliver complex features, optimized geometries, lightweight parts and intricate designs. But, it’s not as simple as just pressing print. Incorporating laser powder bed fusion into an additive manufacturing workflow requires manufacturers to think differently about design, material and more. Additive Manufacturing Media editors Peter Zelinski and Stephanie Hendrixson explain how laser powder bed fusion works, its capabilities and limitations, and suitable applications for this 3D printing process in this video.
