Abstract

When selective laser melting technology is applied to fragile materials, a part can crack during the manufacturing stage. Stable SLM conditions are found for quartz glass, under which individual beads of remolten powder are manufactured. The beads are fused with a solid support of the same material. No cracking is observed in the beads or in the supports near the formers.
