  text: n the last years, Additive Manufacturing, thanks to its capability of continuous
    improvements in performance and cost-efficiency, was able to partly replace and
    redefine well-established manufacturing processes. This research is based on the
    idea to achieve great cost and operational benefits especially in the field of
    tool making for injection molding by combining traditional and additive manufacturing
    in one process chain. Special attention is given to the surface quality in terms
    of surface roughness and its optimization directly in the Selective Laser Melting
    process. This article presents the possibility for a remelting process of the
    SLM parts as a way to optimize the surfaces of the produced parts. The influence
    of laser remelting on the surface roughness of the parts is analyzed while varying
    machine parameters like laser power and scan settings. Laser remelting with optimized
    parameter settings considerably improves the surface quality of SLM parts and
    is a great starting point for further post-processing techniques, which require
    a low initial value of surface roughness.
