In the Original Publication of the article, some reference numbers in the Figs. 1, 5, 14 and Appendixes B, C, D are mismatched. The corrected reference numbers in the figures and appendixes are given below.

Normalized process map showing the location of dimensional variables corresponding to the experimental process parameters selected from Table 1. (The experimental data are enclosed in the blue dashed rectangle and the boundary of the experimental data in Ref. [16] is the black dashed rectangle.) Contours of constant normalized equivalent energy density, E0*, are provided by the dashed lines

Effect of process parameters on relative density: a density measurement results, b a normalized processing diagram showing the location of high-density (> 99%) SLM-processed part. The dashed lines represent contours of constant E0*

Summary of ultimate tensile strength versus elongation to failure for 316L SS from our work and previous studies. (The mechanical performance range of conventional wrought 316L SS is shown in the block region; HFA—hot finished + annealed; CFA—cold finished + annealed; CF—cold finished.)

Appendix B

An example of using 24 OM images to examine the relative density of a SLM-manufactured part at a certain process parameter (Sample No. 12)

Appendix C

The maximal temperature rising of a Gaussian beam source exerted on the surface of a substrate is given by Bäuerle [44].

Appendix D

Tensile test results for SLM-processed 316L SS samples are compared with conventionally made samples. The data were extracted from different studies (*—obtained by estimating from tensile engineering stress–strain curves)
