The increasing interest in Additive Manufacturing (AM) is due to its huge advantage in producing parts without any geometrical limitations. It is due to this reason, AM is extensively utilized in automotive, aerospace, medical and dental applications. Despite their popularity, AM is often associated with inferior surface quality which is one of the many reasons why it has failed to fully replace traditional methods. Hence, AM is always followed by a subsequent post-processing step to produce the end-product. To establish control over the surface quality it is first necessary to fully understand the surface behaviour concerning the factors affecting it. In this paper, the focus is mainly on having a better understanding of the surfaces by using scale-sensitive fractal analysis. In addition, the paper documents the influence of build inclination and post-processing in particular shot blasting on surface topography and utilizes a multi-scale approach to identify the most important ...

使用激光束熔化通过粉末床融合生产的已建成和后处理样品的地表形貌

人们对增材制造（AM）的兴趣日益浓厚，这是由于其在生产零件时不受任何几何限制的巨大优势。由于这个原因，AM被广泛应用于汽车，航空航天，医疗和牙科应用中。尽管AM受到欢迎，但常常会导致表面质量较差，这是AM未能完全替代传统方法的众多原因之一。因此，AM总是紧随其后的后续处理步骤来生产最终产品。要建立对表面质量的控制，首先必须充分了解有关影响表面质量的因素的表面行为。在本文中，重点主要是通过使用比例敏感的分形分析更好地了解表面。此外，
