- This paper addresses the headache ‘rough-surface’ issue in the emerging metal powder AM technology and provides the first study on the influences of laser polishing on subsurface materials. The work has led to a follow-up investigation on how LP can improve the fatigue life of EBM components supported by GKN Aerospace through an EPSRC grant (EP/K030884/1). It also contributed to a £1.6M ERDF funded Medical Device Manufacturing Centre and a collaboration with Renishaw UK to develop laser polishing into an industrial process, with a particular focus on dental and other medical implant applications (led by Prof D. P. Hand D.P.Hand@hw.ac.uk).
