Selective Laser Melting

At Leibniz IFW Dresden we cover the entire process chain of laser melting (from pure elements to starting alloys, powder materials and L-PBF components, as well as the characterization of the materials) and focus on the development of new materials suitable for the process for potential industrial applications.
