Abstract

Guidelines concerning safety in additive manufacturing are not available yet (VDI [2], ISO [3], ASTM [4]) and the topic is not completely evaluated. Dust measurements for Laser beam melting of metals are performed with an aerosol spectrometer, filter-based air samplers and a condensation particle counter determining the occupational exposure along an exemplary process chain.
