SLM has great potential in aerospace and medical devices. However, there are many factors affecting the performance of SLM molded parts, and it would be time-consuming and costly to investigate them only by experimental methods. In this paper, the influence of forming parameters on the hardness of formed parts is evaluated by machine learning methods, and a prediction model of forming parameters based on artificial neural networks is developed and the accuracy of the prediction model is verified by experiments.
