List three reasons why you will choose ultrasonic consolidat

List three reasons why you will choose ultrasonic consolidation instead of selective laser melting for the fabrication of a given metallic structure.

Solution

Solutions:

1. The ultrasonic consolidation eliminates the secodary processes which is very much needed as everything will be combined in a single process.

2. It allows both adddition and subratractive manufacturing in a single go.

3. It is a low temperature direct metal process wheras laser melting takes very high temperatures.
