- Abstract
Selective laser melting (SLM) is an advanced manufacturing technology based on layer by layer building to produce solid parts from metallic powder (Kruth et al., CIRP Ann Manuf Technol 56:730–760, 2007 ). Commercial SLM machines are configured to use specific parameters to process different metallic powder grades. This paper proposes a methodology that makes it possible to analyze the effect of energy density on the formation of single tracks from CoCrMo powder, using a noncommercial machine to select process parameters with open source technology. Full factorial experimental work was carried out to produce single tracks under different combinations of process parameters. A major application of this research work is to develop more flexible machine configurations applicable to different materials.
