Managing surface quality on overhanging features is one of the key challenges in laser powder bed fusion, where downskin layers interact with loose powder rather than a solid substrate. This FLOW-3D AM simulation shows the full multilayer printing sequence for IN718 at a 45-degree overhang angle, capturing how process conditions evolve across layers to affect downskin surface roughness. CFD modeling helps engineers optimize parameters for improved surface finish on complex overhanging geometries. Learn more at flow3d.com/products/flow3d-am
