The present section focuses on the EBM technique employed to
process the CAD models illustrated in the previous section. We
begin by describing the geometrical and chemical characteristics
of the employed Ti6Al4V alloy Next, we briefly describe the
employed manufacturing process. We end by presenting an experimental
study on the influence of the direction in which the layers
are built up in the EBM (the build direction) on the mechanical
properties of the melted Ti-6Al-4V alloy.
