Currently, additive technologies have good prospects for use. Improving the quality of parts obtained by the selective laser melting method is currently an important area of activity in the field of additive technologies. In particular, such an indicator as porosity has a significant impact on the strength characteristics of the final part. This article reviews the method of estimating the porosity values of samples grown from aluminum powder, an alternative to the methods used at the department MT-12. Conclusions are drawn about the effect of the input specific energy on the formation of pores, their number and microhardness in various zones of the samples.
