N2 - Selective Laser Melting (SLM) is a powerful Rapid Manufacturing (RM) technique that has evolved from the principles and applications of Rapid Prototyping (RP) and Rapid Tooling (RT). In this research, the modeling of heat transfer process in SLM will facilitate the knowledge and learning gained in the understanding of accuracy of a part produced. The size of the particles, laser power, laser spot size, laser scan speed, layer thickness, and thermal conductivity of the particles are the primary factors that affect the heat transfer process in SLM. Some of the information provided will be based on the SLM machine, M2 Cusing from Concept Laser which has a build volume of 250 mm x 250 mm x 280 mm (x, y, z). However, the heat transfer modeling is specific and unique to the SLM environment. This model will better help us understand the degree and intensity of Heat Affected Zone (HAZ) around the laser spot during melting in terms of a temperature variation equation.
