Summary:Additive Manufacturing has proven to be a valuable complement to conventional means of manufacturing. As it is a data-driven process, its flexible customization of part shapes and manufacturing parameters plays a crucial role for this development. This study investigates the novel possibilities enabled by laser-based powder bed fusion for the development of functionality driven design. As an example, open porosities are manufactured, structures known to be advantageous to flow and heat transfer applications. Samples are investigated by laboratory tests and 3D imaging to gain knowledge about application-related properties. The results contribute to correlating manufacturing parameters to resulting properties and thus to design future applications.
