Selective laser melting (SLM) is an emerging additive manufacturing technique that significantly contributes to producing high-quality, complex, and customized metal parts. Selective laser melting (SLM) depends significantly on meticulous control of printing parameters like laser intensity, scanning rate, scan spacing, and border laser power. These parameters significantly influence various aspects of the printing process, including time, cost, and mechanical characteristics like tensile strength, yield strength, ductility, hardness, and density. In this study, specimens of AlSi10Mg alloy in both tensile and cube geometries were fabricated according to ASTM E8 standards. The fabrication process involved altering parameters such as laser intensity (250, 275, 300 W), scan rate (1800, 2000, 2200 mm/s), scan spacing (60, 80, 100 µm), and border laser power (325, 350, 375 W) to understand the consequence of these printing attributes on the resulting quality of the manufactured product. The Taguchi approach with ANOVA has been used to identify major contributing printing parameters and examine the microstructure and mechanical characteristics in the as-built stage. The confirmation test was performed using optimized printing parameters to verify the findings, revealing that laser power and scanning speed are the primary influential factors in the selective laser melting process.
