Abstract

Selective laser melting method occupies a special place in powder bed fusion technology. The growing widespread interest in this technique is due to its several favorable benefits. The final near to net-shape product, which has up to 99.9% relative density is the key advantage. With the extensive applicable materials, PBF–LM has feasible economic benefits. This review paper covers important aspects of SLM technology development. Initially, in the material section, the most common metals and metal alloys are investigated. Research works on various aspects of titanium, nickel, and iron usage are presented. Additionally, less popular aliminium, copper, and magnesium are also discussed. The next area is the latest (after 2018) process parameter optimization methods. Application fields such as; aerospace, structure fabrication, medicine, dentistry, and automobile are also included. Moreover, relevant figures of various applications are presented. The last chapter highlights the innovations made after 2018 in the field of PBF–LM.
