A Comparative Study on Selective Laser Melting and Electron Beam Melting Process for Orthopedic Implants

Selective laser melting and electron beam melting are two metal additive manufacturing processes which gained considerable attention in the recent years. These techniques allow large degree of freedom in design such that complicated geometries can be manufactured with higher accuracy and efficient u...
