Introduction

Laser-based 3D printing, also known as laser sintering or selective laser melting, is a rapidly developing technology that enables the production of highly precise and intricate parts. This innovation has numerous applications in different enterprises, including aviation, auto, clinical, and shopper merchandise. However, the current laser-based 3D printing techniques still have some drawbacks, such as the limited selection of materials that can be used and the slow printing speeds. In order to circumvent these limitations, we examine a few novel laserbased 3D printing strategies that have been developed in recent years in this research article [1].

Description

Laser-based 3D printing creates three-dimensional objects by melting and fusing together thin layers of powder material with the help of a powerful laser. Using a 3D computer model as a guide, the laser selectively fused the powder material to form the desired shape. Layer by layer, the procedure is repeated until the final product is produced. The potential to use a wide range of materials and the capability to create intricate geometries are just two of the many advantages this technology offers over traditional manufacturing methods. However, the current laser-based 3D printing techniques still have some drawbacks, such as the limited selection of materials that can be used and the slow printing speeds.

Using multi-laser systems is one way to improve laser-based 3D printing's printing speed. Multiple lasers are used in these systems to print multiple parts at once, reducing printing time. In the aerospace industry, this method has been used to quickly and precisely produce large structural parts. Using hybrid systems, which combine laser-based 3D printing with other manufacturing techniques like CNC machining or injection molding, is another strategy for overcoming the limitations of laser-based 3D printing. This approach takes into account the making of complicated calculations with high accuracy and exactness, while likewise diminishing the expense and season of creation. In situ material handling is a clever methodology that empowers the making of new materials during the 3D printing process. Using the laser, a new material with unique properties is created by selectively heating and mixing two or more materials. New alloys and composites with improved strength and durability have been created using this method.

Metal vaporization is an original way to deal with laser-based 3D printing that utilizes a powerful laser to disintegrate metal powders, making plasma that is then used to store the material onto a substrate. This method reduces the amount of waste material while also enabling the creation of intricate geometries with high precision and accuracy. Laser-based 3D printing is a rapidly developing technology that outperforms conventional manufacturing techniques in many ways. However, the current laser-based 3D printing techniques still have some drawbacks, such as the limited selection of materials that can be used and the slow printing speeds. Multi-laser systems, hybrid systems, In situ material processing, and metal vaporization are some of the novel approaches that have been developed to overcome these limitations and enhance laser-based 3D printing's speed and effectiveness. These novel methods have the potential to change the manufacturing industry and make it possible to make parts with high precision and complexity.

The new methods for laser-based 3D printing have the potential to change the manufacturing industry and make it possible to make parts that are very complicated and intricate with high precision. Aerospace, automotive, medical, and consumer goods are just a few of the industries where these strategies can be used. In the avionic business, laser-based 3D printing is being utilized to make perplexing and lightweight parts for airplane and rocket. In situ material processing and metal vaporization can be used to create new alloys and composites with improved strength and durability, while multi-laser and hybrid systems can be used to speed up the production process. In the car business, laser-based 3D printing can be utilized to make lightweight and superior execution parts, for example, motor parts and suspension parts. In situ material processing and metal vaporization can be used to create new materials with unique properties, while multi-laser systems and hybrid systems can be used to speed up the production process.

Laser-based 3D printing can be used to create individualized implants and prosthetics with high precision in the medical field. In situ material processing can be used to create new materials with unique biocompatibility properties, while multi-laser and hybrid systems can be used to speed up the production process. Laser-based 3D printing can be used to create customized and intricate jewelry and fashion accessory designs in the consumer goods sector. The multi-laser frameworks and half breed frameworks can be utilized to accelerate the creation cycle, while the In situ material handling can be utilized to make new materials with one of a kind visual and material property. There are still a few obstacles that need to be resolved despite the novel laser-based 3D printing methods' potential advantages. The limited selection of materials that can be used in laser-based 3D printing is one of the main obstacles. In situ material processing and metal vaporization have made some progress in the creation of new materials, but more research is needed to broaden the range of materials that can be used in laserbased 3D printing.

The cost and complexity of multi-laser and hybrid systems are another obstacle. These systems call for sophisticated software and hardware, both of which can be costly and challenging to maintain. Multi-laser systems and hybrid systems that are both more user-friendly and less expensive to operate require additional research. Finally, more research is required to improve the quality and consistency of printed parts as well as the printing process. This includes improving the monitoring and control of the printing process and developing new algorithms for optimizing the laser parameters and powder bed preparation [2-5].

Conclusion

Laser-based 3D printing is a technology that is rapidly developing and has the potential to transform the manufacturing sector. Multi-laser systems, hybrid systems, In situ material processing, and metal vaporization are some of the novel laser-based 3D printing methods that have been developed to overcome the drawbacks of the existing methods and speed up and make the printing process more effective. Aerospace, automotive, medical, and consumer goods are just a few of the many fields where these methods could be put to use. The limited selection of materials that can be used, the high cost and complexity of multi-laser and hybrid systems, and the need to improve the printing process are still obstacles that must be overcome. To fully utilize the potential of laser-based 3D printing and enable the production of intricate and complex parts with high precision, additional research and development are required.
