Fraunhofer ILT develops LPBF method for tunable porous structure

Researchers at Germany’s Fraunhofer Institute for Laser Technology ILT have developed a laser powder bed fusion (LPBF) process that embeds locally permeable or dense zones, complete with graded transitions, directly into metal parts. The method will be showcased at Laser World of Photonics 2025 in Munich, 24–27 June 2025.  Controlled permeability without post-processing “By changing […]
