Selective laser sintering (SLS) is an additive manufacturing technology that can work with a variety of metal materials, and has been widely employed in many applications. The establishment of a data correlation model through the analysis of temperature field images is a recognized research method to realize the monitoring and quality control of the SLS process. In this paper, the key features of the temperature field in the process are extracted from three levels, and the mathematical model and data structure of the key features are constructed. Feature extraction, dimensional reduction, and parameter optimization are realized based on principal component analysis (PCA) and support vector machine (SVM), and the prediction model is built and optimized. Finally, the feasibility of the proposed algorithms and model is verified by experiments.

Direct Metal Selective Laser Sintering (DMSLS) is a layer-by-layer additive process for metal powders, which allows quick production of complex geometry parts. The aim of this study is to analyse the improvement of DMSLS with “EOSINT M270”, the new laser sintering machine developed by EOS. Tests were made on sintered parts of Direct Metal 20 (DM20), a bronze based powder with a mean grain dimension of 20 μm. Different properties and accuracy were evaluated for samples manufactured with three different exposure strategies. Besides mechanical properties, the manufacturing process was also examined in order to evaluate its characteristics. The quality of laser sintered parts is too affected by operator experience and skill. Furthermore, critical phases are not automatic and this causes an extension of time required for the production. Due to these limitations, DMSLS can be used for Rapid Manufacturing, but it is especially suitable to few sample series.

Laser sintering of a metal powder mixture that contains two kinds of metal powders with significantly different melting points under a moving Gaussian laser beam is investigated numerically. The continuous-wave laser-induced melting accompanied by shrinkage and resolidification of the metal powder layer are modeled using a temperature-transforming model. The liquid flow of the melted low-melting-point metal driven by capillary and gravity forces is also included in the physical model. The numerical results are validated by experimental results, and a detailed parametric study is performed. The effects of the moving heat source intensity, the scanning velocity, and the thickness of the powder layer on the sintering depth, the configuration of the heat affected zone, and the temperature distribution are discussed.
