title = "Additive manufacturing: A review of the influence of building orientation and post heat treatment on the mechanical properties of aluminium alloys",
abstract = "Selective laser melting is one of the powder bed-based processes that allows a layered fabrication of components, which has become the most widely utilized additive manufacturing technique for metal processing. The ability to create futuristic designs and non-standard topology-optimized structures is one of the biggest advantages of additive manufacturing. On the other hand, one of the major challenges is to account for the anisotropic and inhomogeneous material properties. This work presents an overview of the most relevant studies, concerning the influence of building directions and post heat treatments on the mechanical properties of selective laser melted aluminium alloys.",
