Abstract Metal three-dimensional (3D) printing includes a vast number of operation and
material parameters with complex dependencies, which significantly complicates process …

Dimensionless numbers and scaling laws provide elegant insights into the characteristic
properties of physical systems. Classical dimensional analysis and similitude theory fail to …

Structural defects such as porosity have detrimental effects on additively manufactured parts
which can be reduced by choosing optimal process conditions. In this work, the relationship …

It is attractive to fabricate molds and dies using additive manufacturing (AM) technology
