The effects of laser scan direction, part placement and inert gas flow velocity on the tensile strength of aluminium alloy, AlSi10Mg parts manufactured using Selective Laser Melting (SLM), were studied. The scan direction, either in the same or opposite direction to the gas flow was the primary fact...
