Course Learning Objectives

  • Explore the relationship between parameters and material behaviour during fusion
  • Understand the core LPBF process parameters: laser power, scan speed, hatch spacing, and layer thickness
  • Learn techniques for optimising parameters using Design of Experiments (DoE) and simulation tools
  • Analyse the impact of parameter tuning on porosity, surface finish, and mechanical properties
  • Gain insights into adaptive control systems and in-situ monitoring for real-time parameter adjustment
