What are the pros and cons of Laser Powder Bed Fusion (L-PBF)?
Pros
* Complex geometries
* Results comparable with casting
* Definitive metallic materials
Cons
* Support removal
* Can’t exploit full working volume
* Needs stress relief (heat treating)
* Rougher surfaces than machining
What are the pros and cons of Electron Beam Melting (EBM)
Pros
* Results comparable with casting
* Complex geometres
* Definitive metallic materials
* No significant residual stresses
* Can exploit full working volume
Cons
* Support removal
* Rougher surfaces than machining (however better than L-PBF
What are the pros and conts of Laser Powder Directed Energy Deposition (LP-DED)
Pros
* No size limitation
* Lesser amount of shielding gas
needed
* Multi-material components
possible
* Final alloy possible with process
Cons
* Complex process control
* Higher size and roughness
tolerances than pbf
* Needs machine tool finishing
What are the pros and cons of Binder Jetting (BJ)/ 3 Dimensional Printing (3DP) (Metal)
Pros
* High productivity
* Generally cheaper than PBF
* No need for supports
Cons
* Requires post-processing
* Limited diffusion
* Some materials need bronze
