The project is focused on the optimization of laser powder bed metal fusion processing and post-processing of**highly-spherical plasma-atomized titanium alloy (Ti64) powders. More specifically, the powder spreading and**printing parameters will be optimized to significantly improve the process productivity. This productivity**increase will be obtained without affecting the mechanical and geometrical characteristics of the printed**product. (Our focus on productivity is justified by the fact that this aspect represents one of the main limitations**of the LPBF technology.)**The deliverables of the project are: a) the optimized parameters of laser powder bed fusion and post-processing**of Ti64 components and their mechanical and geometric characteristics; c) direct costs of LPBF processing and**post-processing of these components. The results obtained will be used in the rapidly growing sector of**additive manufacturing.
