      abstract = {Selective Laser Melting (SLM), also referred to as Laser  Powder Bed Fusion (L-PBF), offers significant advantages  for the manufacturing of complex, high-quality parts.  However, its market share is still small compared to  conventional manufacturing technologies. Major drawbacks  hindering an industrial ramp-up are low productivity, high  part costs and issues with quality and reproducibility.  Comprehensive research has been done to overcome these  challenges, but little attention has been paid to  addressing them by optimizing the laser beam profile.  Therefore, the author examines the effect of the laser beam  profile on the productivity and process stability through  both numerical and experimental investigations. The results  show clear advantages an optimized laser beam profile  offers. The content First comprehensive research on the  effect of the laser beam profile on SLM process Understand  the effect of the laser beam profile on the process  stability and feasible productivity of the SLM process  Discover the benefits in terms of manufacturing costs and  time that are offered by an optimized laser beam profile  The author Tim Marten Wischeropp studied mechanical  engineering at the Technical University of Hamburg (TUHH),  Germany. After graduating with a focus on product  development, he worked as a research fellow at the  Institute of Laser and System Technologies (TUHH) as well  as group leader for 3D printing at the LZN Laser Zentrum  Nord GmbH. Since 2018 he leads the design department at the  Fraunhofer Institution for Additive Manufacturing  Technologies IAPT.},
