Influence of laser power on tensile properties and material characteristics of laser-sintered UHMWPE

Ultra High Molecular Weight Polyethylene (UHMWPE) has excellent properties, such as high mechanical performance, low friction, high wear and chemical resistance but so far there has been limited use in additive manufacturing (AM). Laser sintering of polymers is one of the most promising AM technolog...
