Another effective process parameter is the type of scanning pattern. Different studies showed that by applying modified scanning patterns, such as checkerboard or double exposure techniques, it was possible to reduce the number of defects per volume unit of the final product and improve the mechanical characteristics of the specimens [27,35,59]. In these studies, multiple and double exposure techniques modified the thermal dynamics of the material-beam interaction during the SLM process. The modification increased the temperature homogeneity in the part and reduced the probability of the defects in the final product. This adjustment was considered as a potential reason for the improvement of mechanical properties for SLM steels manufactured by modified exposure techniques.
