Abstract

Distortion for 3D printing using Selective Laser Melting (SLM) on AlSi10Mg aluminium is an important issue that affects the final manufactured product. This research aims to develop a finite element method (FEM)-based computational simulation and experimental validation to predict distortion in 3D printed products using SLM. The study results found that the variation of 3D printing position affects the resulting product's distortion and mechanical properties. The 90° part print position results in smaller distortion of 0.303 and 0.335 mm than the 0° part print position of 0.329 and 0.378, respectively, making it more suitable for high-precision applications. This study confirms the importance of scan orientation in controlling distortion in the SLM process, which can be used as a guide for optimal printing parameters. With proper orientation selection, the risk of distortion or defects in SLM products can be minimised, and industrial production efficiency can be improved.

Abstract

Dimensional accuracy is a critical factor in additive manufacturing, especially in Selective Laser Melting (SLM). Recently, many studies had investigated the SLM process and products, but studies on the evaluation of SLM printing product to check the dimensional accuracy have not been explored. This study investigates the dimensional accuracy of SLM products by employing a 3D laser scanning technology and evaluate the compatibility between CAD designs and the final SLM printed products. The 3D laser scanning is performed using a high-precision 3D laser scanner, then continued by comparison with the CAD model through Geomagic Control X software. Dimensional accuracy was measured using visual and statistical parameters such as color graphic and deviation. Results showed that deviation of SLM printed products was within the tolerance range of ±0.1 mm. The main factors that affect accuracy are printing laser speed and print orientation. The 3D laser scanning technology proved to be effective for evaluating the dimensional accuracy of SLM printed products. This study contributes to develop the quality control methods in the field of metal-based additive manufacturing.
