Process maps for LPBF and EBM, melt-pool engineering
Jack Beuth is Professor of Mechanical Engineering at Carnegie Mellon University and co-founder of the NextManufacturing Center, one of the longest-running US academic AM research programmes. With Bontha, Klingbeil, and others, he developed the Rosenthal-based "process maps" approach that linearises LPBF and EBM parameters (laser power, scan speed, beam diameter) to predict melt-pool depth, length, and microstructure regime — a framework now embedded in many commercial process-development workflows. He co-authored "Overview of Materials Qualification Needs for Metal Additive Manufacturing" (JOM, 2016), which formalised the three-tier AM qualification framework. Beuth's group works closely with industry on LPBF qualification for Ti-6Al-4V, IN718, and 17-4 PH, and on process maps for emerging alloys including refractory metals.
