This paper provides a review of defect formation mechanisms in SLM. It sum- marizes the recent research outcomes on defect findings and classification, analyzes formation mechanisms of the common defects, such as porosities, incomplete fusion holes, and cracks. The paper discusses the effect of the process parameters on defect formation and the impact of defect formation on the mechanical properties of a fabri- cated part. Based on the discussion, the paper proposes strategies for defect suppression and control in SLM.展开更多
