Direct metal printing of zinc: From single laser tracks to high density parts

Boekbijdrage - Boekhoofdstuk Conferentiebijdrage

The production of zinc by Direct Metal Printing (DMP) is explored with an aim to understand the influence of different DMP process parameters on the melting, evaporation and solidification of zinc powders. The study of single track (1D) scans with and without powder enabled a first estimation of a stable process window. In the 2D experiments, the hatch spacing was chosen to balance track overlap and smoke formation. The quality of the layers after DMP depends greatly on the flowability of the powder. DMP of simple cubes (3D) of relative density >99.70% was achieved, showing that the DMP of zinc into personalized biodegradable implants and other components is feasible.
