Abstract Laser beam powder bed fusion (PBF-LB) for alloy tool steel is developed to fabricate casting dies for automobile parts by additive manufacturing. Internal defects such as pores, micro cracks and carbide, which deteriorate mechanical properties, have been improved by the developed process parameters, reduction of crack susceptibility index, and heat treatment. As a result, the workpieces manufactured using PBF-LB achieved a tensile strength and Charpy impact value equivalent to the wrought samples.
