We all know that production by SLM will give better product qualities than production by EBM. (accuracy and Surface finish)
Surface finish is only important if the part is visible Maybe not even then - ever look at the surface of some castings?. Accuracy? maybe EBM is good enough In any case EBM can work in materials like TiAl where laser tech simply won't work .
Most of the time I see the big problem being one of getting engineers and designers to thinking terms of AM where complexity is free. Most of the time not direct competition between electrons and photons.
