Fig. 5From: Classification and analysis of common simplifications in part-scale thermal modelling of metal additive manufacturing processesTemperature evolution for single layer deposition using simplified models shown in Fig. 3. The temperatures at point M located at (10,5.05,10) in Fig. 2 are plotted with respect to time. Multiple peaks in the thermal history signify the influence of laser scanning, which is not captured by a layer-by-layer simulation. Nevertheless, the variation in the peak temperatures across the range of cases considered is only \(3.6\%\)Back to article page
