Laser driven melt pool resonances through dynamically oscillating energy inputsSpatially selective melting of metal materials by laser irradiation allows for the precise welding as well as the 3D printing of complex metal parts. However, the simple scanning of a conventional Gaussian beam typically results in a melt track with randomly distributed surface features due to the complex and dynamic behavior of the melt pool. In this study, the implications of utilizing a dynamically oscillating energy input on driving melt track fluctuations is investigated. Specifically, the…
