In this paper, the forced convective heat transfer performance of heat sinks produced by Selective Laser Melting (SLM) was experimentally investigated. Three heat sinks comprising pin fins of circular, rectangular-rounded and aerofoil geometries were fabricated by SLM from aluminium alloy AlSi10Mg p...
