Study on the Geometric Design of Supports for Overhanging Structures Fabricated by Selective Laser Melting

Additional structures are usually adopted to support the overhanging structures in order to resist the deformation of parts. Improper geometric design of the support structures may result in a sharp deterioration in the surface quality and a failure of manufacture, which affects the expansion in the...
