Materiaaleista - EOS
Metallisten AM-kappaleiden ominaisuuksista Ovat samalla tavalla jälkikäsiteltävissä kuin muutenkin valmistetut kappaleet Lämpökäsittely, hitsaus, kiillottaminen, poraus, Ominaisuudet riippuvat valmistusparametreistä Staattiset ominaisuudet vastaavat yleisesti ottaen taottua materiaalia ja ovat paremmat kuin valetuissa kappaleissa Nopea jäähtyminen Ei suotaumia Anisotropiaa voi esiintyä (Z-suunta heikoin) Väsymisominaisuudet as fabricated ilmeisesti jonkin verran heikommat kuin taotulla materiaalilla Pinnan laatu Jatkuvasti paranemassa Pintojen työstö vaaditaan usein joka tapauksessa Mikrohuokoisuus HIP-käsittely
