Laser powder bed fusion of metals is a technology that makes use of a laser beam to selectively melt metal powder layer-by-layer in order to fabricate complex geometries in high performance materials. The technology is currently transforming aerospace and biomedical manufacturing and its adoption is widening into other industries as well, including automotive, energy, and traditional manufacturing. With an increase in design freedom brought to bear by additive manufacturing, new opportunities are emerging for designs not possible previously and in material systems that now provide sufficient performance to be qualified in end-use mission-critical applications. After decades of research and development, laser powder bed fusion is now enabling a new era of digitally driven manufacturing.
Fundamentals of Laser Powder Bed Fusion of Metals will provide the fundamental principles in a broad range of topics relating to metal laser powder bed fusion. The target audience includes new users, focusing on graduate and undergraduate students; however, this book can also serve as a reference for experienced users as well, including senior researchers and engineers in industry. The current best practices are discussed in detail, as well as the limitations, challenges, and potential research and commercial opportunities moving forward.

"I just finished reading the latest book entitled Fundamentals of Laser Powder Bed Fusion of Metals published by Elsevier which I found to be of exceptional quality. The topics are coherently and overarchingly discussed right from the basics of laser powder bed fusion to its physics and modelling, porosity defects, residual stresses, non-destructive characterisation, process monitoring, lattice materials, metamaterials, mechanical properties, novel material developments and future trends. Altogether there are 24 chapters, each authored by respective leaders in the field totalling 58 authors from around the globe. The book concludes with an interesting case study that puts some of the key aspects into perspective. Overall, this is the most comprehensive book regarding laser powdered bed fusion of metals to date. As such it is a recommended reading for undergraduates, postgraduates, researchers, and advanced practitioners in the field of metal additive manufacturing. The book is suitable both for guided learning and quick reference." --Dr Arun. Arjunan
