Popis: Additive manufacturing processes, such as Selective Laser Melting (SLM), has become increasingly established in metal-processing industry offering versatile possibilities for producing individualised components or lightweight structures. SLM machines offer ecological and economical potentials due to comparatively low power and material demand. Required pre- and post-processes as sieving and milling, which are used to ensure a stable process and fulfil demands on surface quality and tolerances, are often neglected. Differentiating from this, an approach for analysing the energy demand of an additive-subtractive process chain is presented based on exemplary processes using a combination of empirical models and a geometric physically-based simulation.
