RE: EBM vs SLM.
One disadvantage of EBM is not mentioned in the slides:
Cool down time of eight hours.
Does this mean that the system is out of business for eight hours during this cooling down?

If I was asked to improve the productivity of this system, I would directly think of multiple chambers within the system.
I would add a cooling down chamber, connected with pressure / temperature proof connecting doors.
And inside a transportation system for the builded parts and sintered powder, etc

After production the product is moved to the preheated cooling chamber, the building chamber is cooled, and prepared for the next session / heated etc.
