Selective Laser Melting - CoCr Approach: Analysis of Manufacturer Parameters Versus Research Results Selective laser melting is a powder bed fusion technology that uses a laser as an energy source in order to directly build fullydensemetal parts. Optimal fabrication requires a comprehensiveunderstanding of the main processing,as it affectsthe part quality. Wherefore, the objective of this paper is to perform a survey, data checking and collecting ofprovided parameters to compare and contextualize it versus the respective values used in the processby the research studies. The work is focused on cobalt-chromium alloys (CoCr) which are widely used in dental and medical applications. This work focusesonsurfacequality and hardness as built and after the post-processes. As well, the approaches in bond strength after post-processing are considered, comparing the results made by different manufacturing techniques. Finally, this work compares results acquired in surface roughness asbuilt, and tensile strength of parts made by selective laser melting versus the traditional technique cast, before and after heat treatment. 1 57-69 57-69
