aerospace, transportation, and energy production industries dueto its versatility in compatible powdered materials (particularly metal), powder bed fusionresearch is paramount in driving the adoption of additive manufacturing in these sectors. It isthus important to understand powder bed fusion techniques on a fundamental level and overcomethe obstacles in the way of expanding their useful applications.Design RationaleThis portable, desktop-scale SLS print bed is being developed to allow the x, y, and z actuationof the print bed. Commercial SLS printers near universally only move the print bed on the z-axiswhile x-y laser scanning is actuated by a computer-controlled galvo mirror system. In this © American Society for

onthe Engineering Village platform, which Elsevier owns. According to Elsevier, the subject areascovered by Compendex are, in order, Chemical Engineering & Materials Science, Physics,Computer & Control Engineering, Electrical & Electronic Engineering, Civil Engineering,Mechanical Engineering, Aerospace, and Petroleum Engineering. Rather than focusing on aspecific field, Compendex has been described as "discipline-agnostic" in regard to engineering[4].1.1.2. InspecInspec is a database housed under The Institution of Engineering and Technology (IET). Inspecdescribes itself as "one of the most definitive databases for subject-specific and interdisciplinaryresearch in the fields of physics, electronics, computing, and engineering [5
