Do higher-powered lasers cause more residual stress in the part? As more powerful laser powder bed fusion machines become available, we are often asked about the effect of higher heat from more powerful lasers. Some people assume that using a 1-kW laser printing at 120-micron layer thickness compared with a 400-watt laser at 30 microns creates more residual stress and warping because the former puts so much heat into the part. The problem with this thinking is that a higher-powered laser and a faster build rate don’t necessarily result in more heat per unit of area. The actual energy density applied to the part might be less than with a lower-powered laser. But more significantly, energy density isn’t the most important influence. Residual stress is more closely related to cooling rate and how you control other factors in the process. If warping is a concern for your part, our application engineers can help to adjust parameters on an individual basis.

Our Meltio’s laser-wire directed energy deposition (LW-DED) system is exceptionally suited for applications involving the printing thin feature components. The image below illustrates a thin 3-axis component successfully printed on a Meltio system. Our LW-DED system utilizes a 6-axis robotic system coupled with a 2-axis positioner, enabling it to print both simple and complex geometries in both 3-axis and 5-axis configurations. A notable application for the LW-DED process is the printing and repairing of these small to large scale turbine blades. In our process, the six (6) off-axis lasers melt a co-axial welding wire resulting in a compact melt pool. This is in contrast to other competing wire-DED processes that yield larger melt pools, potentially causing distortion during the repairing process. Curious about the various parts we have printed and repaired using LW-DED process? Feel free to reach out at enquiries@fastech-engineering.com.

Get Your Parts Printed Now! Sylenzz Tech is committed to delivering excellence in additive manufacturing, just DM on this page/email at sylenzz.3dprinters@gmail.com to get your order started. Pic: ABS Planetary Geartrain #3dprinting #additivemanufacturing #3dprinters #gears #abs <B o n u s C o n t e n t> These parts in pic failed once during the teeth printing. Why, if you ask; Our engineer Aqib determined the root cause as the platform on which the printer was placed vibrated in resonance with the printer as the printer head moved back and forth quickly while printing those small gear teeth. This vibration led to excessive bed shaking and it destroyed the part once. However, our experienced CTO Huzaifa Tahir challenged that by saying the memory card got corrupted due to which the model was destroyed. Who is right can you guess?? 🙂

🔍 Ensuring Quality in Additive Manufacturing: Porosity Detection in Thermal Melt Pool Images In the dynamic world of additive manufacturing (AM), techniques like Laser Powder Bed Fusion (LPBF) and Direct Energy Deposition (DED) are revolutionizing how we build components, layer by layer, using thermal energy to fuse material powders. However, one of the critical challenges in maintaining the quality and integrity of these manufactured parts is detecting porosity — those unwanted voids or gaps within the material that can severely compromise its mechanical properties. Detecting porosity in thermal melt pool images is essential for improving the reliability and strength of 3D printed parts. Advanced imaging and analysis techniques are being developed to identify and address these imperfections, ensuring that the final products meet stringent quality standards.
