Abstract

Lasers are employed for manufacturing (laser manufacturing) in a wide variety of applications, including shape control of metal materials by laser processing and welding, as well as modification of microstructure and functionality through laser quenching. Fundamental research is currently being conducted on laser manufacturing and its industrial applications. In this context, selective laser melting (SLM) can be considered as a culmination of laser manufacturing technology, which is a method for manufacturing three-dimensional objects with complex shapes using the advantages provided by lasers. This chapter introduces the fundamental information on additive manufacturing technology, which has garnered considerable attention in recent years. In particular, the fundamental and potential applications of SLM, which uses lasers as a heat source are showcased.
