Spatter reduction by multi-beam illumination in laser powder-bed fusion

Modulation of laser radiation is a promising approach to increase the process speed in laser powder-bed fusion. However, with an increased buildup rate, the preservation of product quality must be guaranteed. For this purpose, we investigated spatter generation with single-beam and multi-beam distri...
