These post processes offer potentials to increase productivity by automating the material flow between them and the processes itself. This paper focuses on the identification and analysis of these potentials in the process chain using the example of Selective Laser Sintering.en3D printing3D-DruckSLSSLMselective laser sinteringSelektives LasersinternProduktionproductionAutomatisierungautomationprocessadditive FertigungAdditive Manufacturing (AM)Generative FertigungAuspackenunpackingreinigencleaningEndbearbeitungfinishingMaterialflussProcess analysis and optimization of current AM technologies on the example of laser sinteringconference paper
