Mechanical and thermal characterisation of AlSi10Mg SLM block support structures

Selective Laser Melting (SLM) is an Additive Manufacturing (AM) process based on the local fusion of powdered metal. SLM requires support structures that enable heat transfer and structural support during fabrication while being frangible to enable removal. Despite the criticality of support structu...
