PBFSLM System Schematic Overview

Powder Bed Fusion (PBF) uses a laser to selectively fuse powdered material by layer. The document describes the sub-systems of a PBF Selective Laser Melting (SLM) machine including a laser head, material conditioning unit, powder feeding and dumping systems, and a chassis. A schematic shows how the sub-systems interact during the SLM additive manufacturing process to build parts layer-by-layer from a bed of powdered material.
