Shape complexity and process energy consumption in electron beam melting: a case of something for nothing in additive manufacturing?

Additive manufacturing (AM) technology is capable of building up component geometry in a layer-by-layer process, entirely without tools, molds, or dies. One advantage of the approach is that it is capable of efficiently creating complex product geometry. Using experimental data collected during the...
