dc.description.abstract: Build plate bowing in Laser Powder Bed Fusion (L-PBF) presents a major challenge when printing copper
and its alloys, due to their high reflectivity and thermal conductivity. These conditions often cause dimensional inaccuracies and degrade structural properties—especially in large, monolithic parts for fusion applications. Fully solid rafts are commonly used to mitigate d
