Li, Erlei (author), Shen, Haopeng (author), Wang, L. (author), Wang, Geoff (author), Zhou, Zongyan (author)The shape variation of the laser beam is evidently observed in the laser powder bed fusion (LPBF) process because of changes in laser incidence angle and misalignment between the build plate and the laser focus plane. This issue is particularly relevant in large-scale LPBF systems where the laser beam needs to scan a large build area. However...journal article 2023
