Louisville, Kentucky, United States

-Conducted research with at the UofL Rapid Prototyping Center on the Selective Laser Melting (SLM) additive manufacturing process.-Specimens were fabricated from Ti-6AL-4V powder using the SLM process with process parameters varying within specified ranges. -Specimen porosity characteristics were captured with a µCT scanner. 3-D morphological analysis was used to quantify pore characteristics. Full research paper is attached if more info is desired.
