Abstract :
This paper gives an overview about Additive Manufacturing (AM) in general and Selective Laser Melting (SLM) in more detail. We discuss the economic potential of AM and show that it is directly correlated to the process efficiency of AM. We present different new machine concept in order to increase process efficiency. We present one new, diode laser based SLM machine concepts.
