Abstract
For a given material system, the laser energy density, E s is a key factor which affects quality of the laser sintered structure. A laser energy density is defined by the laser power, laser scan speed and laser beam spot size:
where P is the incident laser power (Watts), v, the laser scan speed (cm/s) and δ, the laser beam spot diameter (cm).
