Existing additive manufacturing (AM) technologies produce metal components with a rough surface that generally display fatigue characteristics, leading to component failure and undesirable friction coefficients to the printed part. Small cracks formed at regions of high surface roughness in rough surfaces act as a stress raiser or crack nucleation...
