 The three-pronged cantilever component, TPM, is a simple and novel method for measuring residual stresses in laser powder bed fusion LPBF components. It allows for quick and easy characterization of residual stress for a wide range of machine parameters, build strategies, and materials. The TPM covers two dimensions by utilizing three adjoined cantilever beams, which echoes the whole drilling method where three measurements are used to calculate the stress field around a drilled hole. The TPM is used to compare residual stress levels of components built in T the 6L for V with different hatch patterns, powers, and exposure times. This article was authored by S. A. Sillars, C. J.
