As a widely used additive manufacturing (AM) technology, the selective laser melting (SLM) technology shows great potential for the sustainable development. Therefore, it is essential to conduct an accurate prediction of the AM energy consumption. In this paper, a new prediction method of SLM energy consumption is proposed. Through analysing the working states of each machine subsystem, this method established an energy consumption prediction model concerning the exposure time, point distance, laser power, and hatch spacing based on the characteristics of the pulse-laser-SLM machine. The model contributes to the improvement and optimization of the energy consumption prediction accuracy in the printing stage.
